UTEP的历史博士学位 该计划将重点放在对美国-墨西哥边境地区的研究上，以利用我们校园的地理位置和我们的师资力量。我们所有的博士生都在“无主之地历史”领域。他们还选择了拉丁美洲历史或美国历史上的第二个主要领域，而第三个领域则侧重于教授世界历史或他们自己选择的跨国/世界历史方面。.该计划使我们的学生成为人体的主要贡献者关于边境地区丰富历史的知识。它还对他们进行了广泛的培训，因此它们在学术界内外的职位上都具有很高的竞争力。我们在让学生担任终身教授职位方面的记录非常好。
The PhD program in History focuses on the history of the Borderlands. The program is rooted in the premise that the Border unites as much as it divides and that the people of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico share many common historical experiences. Students at UTEP experience first-hand the complex political and social realities of a border community and take advantage of the rich opportunities for research in both El Paso and Ciudad Jurez. The degree is intended to prepare students for professional careers as college and university faculty, or as public historians working in such fields as museum administration, historic preservation, archival management, and public policy.<br><br>All students in the program complete a field of concentration in U.S.- Mexico Borderlands history, Transnational/World history, and either United states history or Mexican and Latin American history. Students must demonstrate a reading knowledge of Spanish, except for unusual circumstances in which another language might be more appropriate.
