PhD Program
The PhD in English offers in-depth training in a variety of historical eras and cultural traditions, from the Medieval period to the contemporary moment. Students choose an area of specialization – Early Modern, Nineteenth-Century, or Modern – but also take courses in each area. We offer opportunities in the digital humanities, public humanities, and other initiatives for exploring new futures in the humanities.
