All the universities you named (Rice, JHU, Emory, Vanderbilt) should be fine for history. I remember attending a JHU info session on campus and my son’s being impressed by a student speaker’s enthusiastic discussion of her (obscure) intellectual interest as a history major! It was reassuring to hear that, though JHU is known for being strong in STEM, a history major could thrive there as well.
But check out the catalogs! Look for breadth, depth, and how much the course topics appeal to you.
