Brief Description of the Program:

        Since the mid-fifteenth century, the Atlantic has provided the corridor for fundamental exchanges of peoples and technologies. It has also served as a platform for the transfer of ideas defining and challenging communities across wide spans of time and space. The principle behind the Atlantic Civilization focus of the doctoral program in History at Florida International University is to explore the many dimensions of these exchanges. Capitalizing on the Department's notably strong resources and faculty, the program is designed around a curriculum that emphasizes the comparative framework of the Atlantic experience, while reflecting the vitality of a cross-disciplinary approach.
