Graduate Programs

The Clements Center offers a range of programs for graduate students that address the teaching and research of history, strategy, and statecraft.

• The Clements Summer Seminar in History and Statecraft brings together graduate students from leading universities (non-UT) to explore the connections between statecraft and history. Sessions are also devoted to professional development for academic and policy careers.
• The Graduate Portfolio Program in Security Studies is a transcript-recognized credential for students who complete an interdisciplinary focus in security studies.
• The Graduate Fellows Program builds a multi-disciplinary community of PhD students by bringing them together for monthly meetings to discuss research and listen to guest speakers.
• The Student Professional Development Fund supports students who have secured unpaid internships in fields related to defense and foreign policy. This helps launch students in careers in national security.
• Grants in History and Statecraft are awarded to UT students and professors for research and presentations at academic conferences.
