<p>Anyone else planning on applying to history programs this upcoming fall/winter?
I want to do US South/American Indians/US Civil War.<br>
I am looking at primarily UGA and William and Mary.</p>
<p>I’d recommend Duke or UNC-Chapel Hill as well…they actually do a lot of cross-listing with their programs.</p>
<p>[Center</a> for the Study of the American South - The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill](<a href=“http://www.uncsouth.org/]Center”>http://www.uncsouth.org/)</p>
<p>I just attended a panel last week and it sounded very interesting. They’re a research center focusing on the oral histories of the American South and they do a lot of collaboration with other centers/universities.</p>
<p>I wish I was the sort of candidate who would get into a UNC or a Duke, but I’m afraid I’m not super qualified or an intelligent wonder.</p>
<p>my problem is, I don’t want to do a phd yet, and many of the schools I would be interested in don’t offer a terminal masters (or, worse- offer one without funding! yikes).</p>
<p>Me too pretty much snazzybumblebee7! I eventually want to get my PhD, but I will not get into a great PhD program from undergrad. So I am going the MA route first. Some of the schools I have encountered with terminal MA programs with funding: Georgia, Louisiana State, William and Mary, NC State, UNCG, UNCW, Villanova, George Mason University. UGA offers a fastrack to the PhD program after 1 year of study. That is my goal right now, because they are fantastic for Southern History.</p>
<p>What are you interested in studying?</p>
<p>thanks for the info! I’m planning on applying to Masters programs for American Colonial history. Ideally I’d like to work in the national parks/ national monuments field.</p>
<p>Definitely check out William and Mary, they have a top 5 colonial american PhD program. I am applying for their Early American MA. Colonial overlaps with what I am interested in, so most of those schools would be great bets!</p>
