Our
entering classes consist of between 20 and 25 students drawn
from a very large and competitive pool of applicants. They come
from Ivy League schools and such equivalents as Chicago, Swarthmore,
and Stanford; from large state universities; from regional liberal-arts
colleges; and from smaller state universities.
We attract students
from all parts of the country and from many parts of the world—England,
France, Italy, Germany, Israel, Algeria, Belgium, Canada, Argentina,
Brazil, Mexico, Jamaica, China, Japan, India, and others, in
recent years.
Some students enter our program immediately after
graduating from college. Others come to us after several—sometimes
many—years doing other things, including in some cases
earning a Master's degree at another university. Most entering
students have done previous work in history, either as undergraduates
or in a master’s program; but many enter our program having
specialized in other academic fields.
Recent classes have been
relatively evenly divided between men and women and have included
significant numbers of minority students.
