HOW ABOUT THE PHD PROGRAM OF HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN SUNY-BUFFALO?

HELLO EVERYONE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SUNY-BUFFALO, INCLUDES REPUTATION, FUTURE JOB MARKET AND LOCATION?  

THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE'S ANSWER

YES.

I THINK THAT ANY PROGRAM THAT ACCEPTS STUDENTS WHO USE THIS MANY CAPS IS A REALLY GREAT THING.  HISTORY HAS SHOWN US THAT CAPS ARE REALLY POWERFUL. THEY CLEARLY KNOW THEIR HISTORY.

Thank you for reply. Anyone else?

I'm not a huge fan of upstate NY in general (too cold and snowy for my taste). Looking at the History department history page shows that their placement is about what I would expect (a number of VAP/adjunct positions, and a few tenure-track positions at community colleges and regional colleges). I'm guessing you're an international student. If you're (1) looking to work as an academic in your home country and (2) have received a tuition remission and stipend, Buffalo seems like a good option.

 

Among the international community, though, Buffalo has a reputation for offering unfunded acceptances to international students. If you didn't receive a full funding package, I definitely would NOT go.

 

Just my $.02.
