About this programme
The English and comparative literature program offers a course of study leading to a doctor of philosophy degree, with potential specializations in a range of areas. We encourage our graduate students to discover a particular field, learn its histories, and define its problems. Through coursework, independent reading, and research, and with the support of an academic advisor, students develop a major field of study, as well as a focus of interest that often takes shape within or adjacent to the major field of study. See Programs for more information on these areas of study.
