Hi everyone, Thank you for your replies. The area I am most interested in is the andean region/souther cone (especially chile) during the cold war. I have researched a bit on most of the schools suggested here. Madison seems to be quite strong in my area of interest but hopefully some one can recommend me another school. I did see in some of the university websites that many professors take graduate students who do not necessarily want to specialize in what they do. But I imagine it must be better for the students to work with someone who is an expert in what the student wants to do.

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping to get some recommendations for some safety schools that have a good Latin American History PhD program (Modern History). Ideally, I would like to be accepted into a university such as Columbia, but it is probably wise to have a plan B. I have found it rather difficult finding good programs since most schools, and even some of the big names, focus primarily on Mexico and Brazil, but less on the rest of the region. I rather skip the M.A. since I already did a masters in another field and I am quite sure regarding what I want to study.

Hi everybody, I was hoping some of you could recommend some 2nd/3rd tier universities that have a good latin american history program (cold war period). Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
