Columbia University, based in New York City, NY offers a fully funded PhD in History. The PhD program offers a broad education in most areas of historical scholarship and attempts to train students for a discipline and a profession in the midst of considerable change. The program helps the students to become effective teachers and to exist comfortably within a demanding and complicated professional world. Every student entering the Ph.D. program will receive a full fellowship (tuition, fees, and a stipend) upon admission. Students awarded such funding upon admission will receive five years of support (except for those entering with advanced standing, who will receive four years of support).
