With 17 faculty members, the UCSB graduate program in U.
S. history offers a wide variety of intensive reading and
research seminars. The program covers traditional chronological
fields, with especially strong coverage of modern U. S history
(1865 to the present). At the same time, the U. S. field
has a number of strengths that cross traditional chronological
boundaries. These thematic strengths include gender history,
race and ethnicity (Native American, African American, Asian
American and Chicano history), political economy, and public
policy history. Many field members also participate in the
history department's special comparative clusters, including
gender history, Cold
War history, and the joint UCSB/California
State University Program in Public History. Other departments
at UCSB-Asian American Studies, Black Studies, Chicano Studies,
Religious Studies, and Women's Studies-have faculty members
that work in related fields.
All entering graduate students in U. S. history are expected
to take the 292 series during their first year of study.
The 292 series provides an intensive overview of the U.
S. history field as a whole, with particular emphasis on
the strengths of the UCSB faculty.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with any
