While these are our areas of scholarly research we also invite students with other interests to join our department.

The program is directed at both MA and PhD students. In addition to more traditional appraoches to the study of German history, we encourage innovative, comparative work. Therefore we strongly support interdisciplinary fields of study which are taught in collaboration with other faculty in the history department as well as with faculty members in women's studies, German languages, philosophy, cinema, sociology, and anthropology.

Our graduate students have competed successfully for jobs, fellowships and international research grants such as Fulbright awards and DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) grants. Doing history at SUNY Binghamton means joining a supportive, focused scholarly community which pays attention to the needs and interests of each individual student.
