Tulane and Miami (OH)

[holybatman]

Both of these PhD programs are not accepting applications, does anyone know the official status of either one, I'm sure Tulane is doing some rebuilding after Katrina but I wouldn't know about Miami, they seem to have decent faculty and certainly have a good undergraduate reputation but I never see them in any rankings or anything.

[DrRockso]

Tulane had a very solid program, from my understanding, prior to Katrina. I asked a faculty member there during my app process for a time-frame regarding a return to granting PhDs, and was told not to hold my breath.

Miami(OH) I know nothing about in terms of grad programs.

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I'm fairly certain I heard that Tulane was ending their PhD program a few years back. I'm less certain (but believe) I heard a similar -- more recent -- rumor regarding Miami (OH). I don't think you'd be out of line in either case to e-mail a faculty member of those schools inquiring about the status of their programs.

Miami (OH) has for the time being suspended their PhD program in political science. There is the possibility of a restart in the future, but for now that is highly doubtful.

To expand ^...

Word is that is was temporarily suspended given financial problems. Quite a few depts which I am aware of were forced to change admissions this year given the economic environment.
