Well, for a while I was the only person in the department who was focusing on modern European history. A few new grad students have come in and have focused on it and they actually have a modern European history reading list now. It is largely a "War and Society" department, however.

gmorgan, you went to USM for grad school or undergrad.

bayou, if you're thinking about grad school for european history I can get ahold of my contact who is currently working on his ph.d. for American history there. He can give me a full report for you.

Should be able to have that in less than a week

Most of what I know is about the American stuff. You interested?

Dr. Wiest and Neiberg (who is going on a two-year teaching job in Pennsylvania but will be back) can teach modern European history but they do focus a lot on War and Society. They are both very successful historians, though.

I have never had a problem meeting with them as long as I called a week or two in advance. There are some pretty accomplished historians there and some younger ones. I guess just like a lot of other history departments.

Mind if I ask why you're not interested in LSU for graduate study? We actually have some really strong faculty for what you're interested in.

I'll see what I can dig up from the grad student community at USM. Hows that sound?

sounds great.

why im not interested in LSU


well im about to get my undergrad at Southeastern and I talked to the grad coordinator for history there about LSU. First off i wanna get out of state.
he said that was a good idea because LSU accepts very few SELU students. 4.0 type students with great GRE scores is about all they would look at, and i dont have a 4.0

I think I had about a 3.7 as an undergrad when I applied to Southern Miss for grad school. So, I guess 4.0 isn't a necessity.

That's a good reason to go.

No offense and I don't mean to call him a liar but I don't believe that for a second. I was a 3.6 student and I'm here. I know of a couple of Southeastern people to come through the department.

I'm not trying to talk you into LSU but I just want you to be as informed as possible so you can make the choice. I don't know what his motives are for stearing you clear of LSU but I'd be a bit weary of that knowing what I know.

Yeah, I know a couple other William Carey students there, so I guess they don't look down on it too much.

Mainieri told Edward after his third AB that if his coach had given him a chance to start, he wouldn't take the first pitch on his first three plate appearances. Fourth AB ... first-pitch double!

he wasnt really steering me away. he did mention 2 students that got in LSU from southeastern... but my gpa is only 2.6 due to math. thats not gonna fly. Though ive never made anything less than an A in any upper level history... kindve a tough situation im in.
