The Graduate Program

Students in the Graduate Program in English enjoy the advantages of a large faculty but do not suffer the disadvantages of a large program. The result is a student-centered department with a wide selection of graduate courses and teachers. A substantial number of University fellowships are open to MA students on a competitive basis. Students who continue into the PhD program are normally awarded teaching fellowships renewable for several years, contingent upon satisfactory performance in the program. Our outstanding faculty work closely with students at every stage of the program. We assist students to become publishing scholars and to find appropriate employment. Students also benefit from departmental sponsorship of Studies in Romanticism and association with AGNI.
