Established in 2001, the graduate program in Nineteenth-Century Studies developed from an effort by UNL faculty in eight humanities disciplines to create a curriculum building on longstanding strengths in the study of this fascinating and tumultuous period. Students trained in the program (either at the MA or PhD level) will emerge with a strong foundation in interdisciplinary inquiry that will enhance their teaching and research, and position them well for whatever career they choose.
The NCS curriculum is built around two core courses, both of which are open to all UNL graduate students, regardless of departmental affiliation.
