Apply to the Ph.D. Program
Application forms can be downloaded here. Completed applications must be submitted in paper form.
The deadline for applying is January 15.
Please be sure all completed materials are received by that date.
An application packet will contain the following materials:
- Graduate school application
- Personal statement outlining your academic interests and goals
- Three letters of recommendation from individuals who know your academic qualifications
- Official transcript from each college/university attended
- Though not required, we strongly recommend that you take the GRE and have the scores sent to Clark. The school code is 3279.

On-campus interviews of applicants, when practical, are encouraged, though not required. These interviews are at the discretion of the Graduate Program Director and normally occur after the application is submitted and before decisions are made. Applicants requesting an interview should do so at the time the application is submitted, and once the application is complete, the Graduate Program Director will contact the applicant if an interview seems appropriate.
Please send your application to:
History Department, Clark University, 950 Main Street, Worcester, MA 01610-1477.
