Location of Bilkent University
The program is designed to concentrate on the areas of Ottoman History, European History and the History of the United States.
Emphasis is placed on preparing students to be able to undertake independent research in these particular fields. The graduate program involves a preparatory year designed to give students the skills and language proficiency which will enable them ultimately to make original research with primary source materials. Since profound historical research can only be carried out through the use of primary source materials, it is necessary for students to acquire the relevant linguistic and paleographic skills.
The Department of History functions mainly as a graduate department, offering M.A. and Ph.D. programs in the areas of Ottoman, American, and European histories. At the undergraduate level, the department offers both compulsory and elective courses in History of Civilization (HCIV 101/102) for the students of other departments and faculties, and provides preparatory courses for the entering graduate students of History.
Contents
The preparatory year prior to the Master's program provides a background in Western and Turkish history.
The first year in the Master's program features specialized courses in Ottoman History, European History, and the History of the United States. Students should by then have acquired a solid knowledge in history so as to be able to raise questions concerning more specific historical themes.
During the second year the student begins to write his/her Master's thesis under the supervision of an advisor. During the Master's program the student is expected to submit papers at the end of each semester.
Completion of a minimum of 24 credit units of graduate level course work. Students of Ottoman History must demonstrate competence in Ottoman Turkish and at least one elective European language. Students of European History and History of the United States may be expected to demonstrate competence in one or more elective European languages.
A master's thesis must be submitted and accepted; consult the links for the schedule for completion of the thesis. A grade point average of at least 3.00 must be maintained throughout the program.
