Our fields of noted excellence are US, African American, women and gender, Latin American, and Central/Eastern European/Russian history. Other areas of established strength are the history of Western Europe, the Ancient Mediterranean, and East Asia, as well as Jewish history and the history of science and technology. Working with partners in Europe, Latin America, and East Asia, we are developing exciting new programs in Atlantic history, the African diaspora, Middle Eastern/Islamic history, and international/transnational/comparative history.

The 150 students in our three degree programs come from across the nation, from small liberal arts colleges and major research institutions, as well as from the Balkans, Canada, East Asia, Eurasia, the European Union, and Latin America. Our doctoral candidates are hard at work in libraries and archives located in the Baltimore-Washington region and far afield. Our most recent graduates have started postdoctoral fellowships or permanent positions at institutions that include Christopher Newport University, the Federal Judicial Center, John Carroll University, King's College London, Loras College, the Maryland Historical Society, Morgan State University, Ohio University, Southern Methodist University, the United States Naval Academy, the University of South Florida, the University of Southern Mississippi, and Western Washington University. The members of our extended alumni community, numbering over three hundred master of arts and doctoral recipients, work as professional historians throughout the State of Maryland, in a number of United States Government agencies, and at institutions of higher education and historical research across the United States and the globe.
