For US History among Academics UW Madison is top 2 or 3. Overall the department is among the top 10. The resources of the State Historical Society across the street from the Department are incredible - the largest library devoted to No. America outside Wash. DC. The Dept. has produced such liminaries in US History as Wm. Appleman Wms, Frederick Jackson Turner and currently Bill Cronon. John Cooper just published the definitive biography of Woodrow Wilson. Great school for the progessive era (it’s Wisconsin after all). And if you are interested in the nexus of history and science it is one of the best places anywhere.

Check out the Dept websites and read the bio’s on Faculty to see what you think.
