Overview

The traditional PhD in English from University of Nevada, Las Vegas focuses on literary study, although a concentration of six credits may be earned in composition studies. Each student chooses three areas in which to specialize: (1) a chronological period, (2) a literary genre, and (3) either an additional chronological period, a major author, or a special topic approved by the student’s advisory committee.
Coursework is devoted to developing a high degree of professional expertise in these three areas of specialization. Such knowledge is tested in a qualifying examination and is also the basis upon which the student writes a doctoral dissertation.

Students will develop a capability for professional research, critical thinking, and publishable writing.

Students will develop expertise in a chronological period, a literary genre, and an additional period, major author, or special topic.
