For students pursuing careers as public historians, the University sponsors a museum studies certificate program. Professor Strasser is a leading scholar on American social and cultural history, gender history, and the history of consumption. There are eight fellows in the University of Delaware-Hagley Program, and approximately three new fellowships are awarded each year. Fellowships may be renewed once for those seeking a terminal master's degree and three times beyond the initial year for those seeking the doctorate. In addition, students in the master's program are required to serve as teaching fellows for two semesters and those in the Ph.D. program for four semesters.
Fellows also receive support for travel to conferences, archives, and museum.
The deadline for receipt of complete applications is January 30 . The aptitude portion of the GRE is required and must be taken no later than December to assure full consideration of the application. The most promising applicants are invited to Delaware in March. Return to the Table of Contents.
