pilisopa Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hey folks, what are your thoughts on BU's history PhD program in European History? Been looking up the rankings and although BU is a strong (if not absolute top-tier) school, I'm not seeing the most favorable information about its rankings. Also, the department's website lists alumni and their post-PhD record doesn't seem terribly strong. Wanted to see if people here had some insights into the program and thoughts on prospects upon graduation. Finally, taking everything into account, is it worth going there if it is funded?

WhaleshipEssex Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 James Johnson is a well respected historian there, however I don't believe he's taking graduate students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
