Comparative Literature PhD Info Session
Yopie Prins, Director of Graduate Studies; Julie Burnett, Comp Lit Student Services Coordinator
Join us for a virtual information session to learn more about our PhD program and the application process.
The PhD in Comparative Literature is a six-year doctoral program that emphasizes the international and interdisciplinary nature of Comparative Literature. Our curriculum is designed to be as flexible as possible, allowing students to develop expertise in areas of traditional interest to comparatists and to learn about new developments in the humanities. The program has strong language requirements but provides flexibility in the ways that students put their language and cultural proficiency to use. The program places strong emphasis on literary, critical and cultural theory but makes possible a variety of definitions of what theory is and how it is to be applied.
