Early America

The University of Georgia History Department is one of the best places in the country to study early American history at both the M.A. and the Ph.D. levels. Its prize-winning historians offer courses each semester in the field; their broad topical and chronological range covers African-American, agrarian, cultural, economic, intellectual, legal, religious, and ethno-history. The University of Georgia's libraries have first-rate research collections, including Early American imprints and a range of early American newspapers. Financial assistance is available.
