Alumni

The University of Texas History Department has been training doctoral students since the 1920s. In that time, the department has awarded over 600 Ph.D.s, including those earned by such distinguished historians as Walter Prescott Webb (1931), Carlos Eduardo Castaneda (1932), Nettie Lee Benson (1949), Forrest McDonald (1955), Richard Graham (1961), John Lewis Gaddis (1968), and H. W. Brands (1985).

Here is a list of all students who have earned doctorates from the UT History Department since the very first one in 1926, along with the titles of their dissertations, the names of their supervising professors, and their current jobs, when available.
