History of Science
In conjunction with its rapidly growing graduate
program, the Department of History at the University of Florida offers
programs of study in the History of Science leading to the MA and PhD.
The interests of the faculty range widely from the development of scientific
ideas themselves to the analysis of the mutual interaction of science and
culture. Students in the program may also consult with cooperating faculty
members in several other departments at the university in the course of
completing their requirements.
The Department of History, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the
University of Florida all offer fellowships to qualified applicants. The department
itself administers special funds that are intended for graduate students in
the history of science. Special fellowships are available for minority and
economically disadvantaged students, and for women entering non-traditional
careers. Non-Florida student tuition waivers are provided for Graduate Fellows,
Special Fellows, and Graduate Assistants. Applications to the Program and
for financial aid for the Fall term must be received by the first day of February.
More specific information is supplied in the Graduate Handbook.
