Becoming a Historian?

by JayMack98

Hi all!

I’m a sophomore undergraduate student studying History & political science. I am seriously considering going to grad school to get my PHD in history - possibly Church History.

Do any historians have any advice here on this? I’ve met with two advisors so far and plan on meeting with more going forward, but any tips would be appreciated.

This recent thread contains some posts by u/restricteddata, u/Iphikrates and u/hesh582 on prospects for a PhD these days. (However, it doesn't cover the application process, or church history).
