University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

Military history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill partners with the Duke History department in a collaborative program of common courses, sharing of faculty, and interchange in a number of areas. Students take courses at both institutions, use the military and associated historians for examinations and theses, and make use of the resources of both departments and universities. The Triangle Institute for Security Studies provides an additional venue for faculty and graduate students to study and interact on the issues of national and international security broadly defined.
