Ph.D. Program
The Ph.D. program in English and American literature emphasizes individual scholarship; offers training in research, teaching methods, and other professional development skills; and encourages graduate student innovation and initiative.
Our doctoral students serve as teaching assistants and direct their own writing courses, participate regularly at scholarly conferences, and have the opportunity to work closely with our distinguished faculty.
Recent graduates have attained tenure-track positions at such institutions as Connecticut College, San Francisco State University, Rider University, Bentley University, and the University of Toledo.
