Graduate Programs in English
The English Department seeks to teach and promote an understanding of both the significance and the history of British and American literature, broadly defined, and to foster an appreciation of the richness and variety of texts in the language. It offers rigorous training in interpretive thinking and precise expression. The English graduate program features the study of what imaginative language, rhetoric, and narrative art has done, can do, and may yet do in life, and it focuses on the roles that creative writing and representations play in almost every aspect of modern experience. Graduate students are admitted as candidates for only the Ph.D. or the M.A. in English and American Literature.
