Principles
- M.A. candidates and Ph.D. candidates are required to submit dissertation in consultation with their faculty advisors.
- M.A. students must declare their majors and select faculty advisors by the end of the second semester.
- Upon completion of required coursework, students are required to obtain the approval of their faculty advisors to take the Candidacy Exam.
- A minimum total of 24 credit hours will be required to earn an M.A. degree. Students who enter with an M.A. from another program or another institution will typically transfer 6 credit hours, which means they will need to earn a minimum of additional 18 credit hours for the M.A. in our program.
- A minimum total of 36 credit hours will be required to earn a Ph.D. degree. Students who enter with an M.A. from another program or another institution will typically transfer 9 credit hours, which means they will need to earn a minimum of 27 credit hours for the Ph.D. in our program.
- Students who enter without a B.A. in English Language and Literature or its equivalent are typically required to take undergraduate courses as prerequisites. These courses will be selected by the department.
- The Candidacy Exam must be taken in two different fields of study.
