     The Departments of History of the University of Guelph, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University offer a joint program leading to the PhD degree. The Tri-University Doctoral Program in History includes members from all three departments covering a wide range of research interests. It is a semi-autonomous program responsible directly to the three graduate schools. It looks after admissions, arranges courses of instruction, names students' advisory committees, and monitors student progress generally. Students in the Tri-University Doctoral Program in History register either at Guelph, Waterloo or Wilfrid Laurier (depending on where their adviser is located) but undertake their coursework jointly at all three universities. Students in the program are governed by the general regulations of the university in which they are registered and their degree is granted by that university.

---

PhD Fields

     Each student is required to demonstrate competence in three fields (one major, two minor). This competence will be demonstrated by successful completion of the colloquium or the qualifying examination. One field must be in an area of study distinct from the major field and one may be in another discipline. The distinction between a major and a minor field is the depth and required range of reading rather than by geographical or chronological span. The major and minor fields must be constructed so that a student can complete the major during two terms and both minor fields within another two terms. Students must take a seminar course in each of their qualifying or colloquium fields.
     The student's advisory committee, in collaboration with the student, will establish the fields to be examined. The student's advisory committee, in collaboration with the candidate, will select either the comprehensive or the colloquium mode of examination, determine the scheduling of the examinations or colloquium, and approve the thesis proposal submitted by the student before the student proceeds to the examination. The comprehensive mode involves one historiographical essay and one written examination in each field and an oral examination covering the three fields. The colloquium mode requires two essays, one of which must be historiographical, to be written in each field.
     Following the completion of field preparations to the satisfaction of the advisory committee, the candidate in the colloquium mode presents an independent research paper on a topic approved by the advisory committee. For both modes, the examining committee will be composed of the thesis adviser, the field advisers, an additional member of the graduate faculty, and the director or designate as chair.
     The PhD fields and the oral qualifying examination must be completed by the end of the fifth term/semester. The colloquium must be completed by the end of the sixth term/semester. No extensions will be permitted, except in cases where approval has been given by the co-ordinating committee. Continuation in the program after the qualifying exam or colloquium requires at least a B+' average, based on all courses taken in the program to that point and their proportionate weighting.
     Following successful completion of the colloquium or qualifying examination, the student must complete, under the supervision of a Tri-University Doctoral Program in History faculty member, an original research project on an advanced topic. A thesis embodying the results of that research must be presented and defended before an examining committee.
     The Tri-University Doctoral Program limits thesis supervision to eleven fields of study - Canadian history; British history; Scottish history; early modern European history; modern European history; United States history; the history of women, gender and family; the history of science, medicine and technology (19th and 20th century only); the history of race, slavery and imperialism; international history; and community studies (including rural and urban history).

Admission Requirements

     All inquiries and applications concerning this program should be addressed to the director of the Tri-University Doctoral Program in History. All applications requesting financial support for the fall term must be received by the Tri-University Doctoral Program in History and be complete by 1 February of that year. Successful applicants will start their graduate studies in September. The Tri-University Doctoral Program uses a self-administered application process in which the onus is on the applicant to collect and submit all required documentation and material.
     Applications are considered by the co-ordinating committee. Only students who are graduates of accredited universities and colleges are eligible for admission. Students will be admitted only after they have obtained an MA in which they have received at least an A-' standing. Since not all applicants can be admitted, close attention is paid to samples of applicants' written work, to applicants' transcripts and past records as a whole, and to their statement of research interests.
     Applicants from outside Canada whose previous education cannot be assessed readily may be required to demonstrate their knowledge by other means, such as the Graduate Record Examination. Non-Canadian applicants whose first language is not French or English are required to submit evidence of proficiency in the English language or pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A net score of 600 is required. Registration at one university for three degrees (BA, MA, PhD) is discouraged.

Degree Requirements
     Students must demonstrate a knowledge of written French (or other appropriate second language, approved by the co-ordinating committee) before the qualifying examination. Students must register in the Doctoral Seminar. For details see the program handbook.

    The requirements for an MA student taking a 7000-level course are substantially different from those for a PhD student. Therefore a PhD student who has previously taken any of these 7000-level courses may, with the permission of the department, repeat any of those 7000-level for credit in the Tri-University Doctoral Program.
