About

The English Literary Studies PhD program at The University of Iowa is designed as preparation for the teaching, publishing, and administrative service required of a career in academia.

Overview

The PhD in English Literary Studies from The University of Iowa requires a minimum of 72 semester hours of graduate credit, a comprehensive examination, dissertation, and dissertation examination. 

Key Features

  • With the exception of the Introduction to Graduate Study course for PhD students, no specific course or sequence of courses is required of students. 
  • Instead, all students are encouraged to design a program that combines the breadth they will need to teach survey courses with the focus that will enable them to make significant scholarly contributions to their areas of specialization even before they complete the degree.  

Programme Structure

  • Courses include: 
    • In planning your course of study, it is important to remember that in the past decade economic constraints have led many colleges and universities to seek broadly trained, critically informed job candidates who are prepared to teach and publish in amply defined fields of study.  
    • All doctoral candidates are strongly advised to gain teaching experience, preferably in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Department of Rhetoric and in GE CLAS Core literature courses.
