<p>Thanks everyone im goin wait a bit longer and get other suggestions as well</p>
<p>If you live in New Jersey, Rutgers has a wonderful history program. But History is generally a major that is solid everywhere. I'd look more for schools that you really like than schools that are stronger in history than others.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice I'll keep my eyes open.</p>
<p>Nope...history is not generally solid everywhere.</p>
<p>For example
The cirriculum vitae (i.e. what they've published) of tenured professors in the department will tell you a lot about the department. Do they have a specialty such as the the American Presidency, colonial/revolutionary, east asian studies, etc.</p>
<p>The poster said the northeast, so I will mention a very selective school that has had a reputation for broadly evaluating its applicant school; Columbia University. Columbia's History department is quite superior overall; American, East Asian, Eastern Europe, African.</p>
<p>Also, for a northeast school that has less competitive admissions, consider Richard Stockton College, a public LAC not far from Atlantic City NJ. I understand that the history department at RSC is quite good. RSC is a pleasant campus in a suburban area not far from the ocean.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone Im looking at all of your suggestions and I will continue my search if anyone has any other suggestions I am open to those as well.</p>
<p>Thanks again for the support anybody else have any ideas?</p>
<p>huskem55 why UHartford if I may ask?</p>
<p>2 reasons highlander:
1. it is similar in admissions to the schools listed in your original post.
2. there are some absolutely terrific history profs there.</p>
<p>Huskem55 what is the school itself, the environment, and the location like at UHartford?</p>
<p>Anybody else have any ideas for choices?</p>
<p>Rutgers University</p>
<p>Thanks Drew for The Rutgers suggestion but unfortunatly I can only apply to colleges in New England plus New York so any there would be great!</p>
