The English Department's interdisciplinary MA and PhD programs cover three major historical periods, with a particular focus on textual studies. Follow the links below to discover each academic discipline and check the sidebar for more details. Leveraging our expertise in textual research, Loyola's English Department has launched a new interdisciplinary Textual Studies program. This venture enables students to engage in conferences and seminars featuring Loyola professors and distinguished guest speakers, collaborate with faculty on research initiatives, and explore innovative courses while potentially developing their own research in this dynamic interdisciplinary field. Starting Fall 2011, students can also enroll in the new digital humanities MA program. Textual Studies examines source materials—whether handwritten, printed, or digital—and analyzes the creative processes of writing, editing, publishing, dissemination, and audience reception. Inherently cross-disciplinary, this field plays a vital role in literary analysis across all eras, as well as in philosophy, history, music, religious studies, and media scholarship. Today, it forms the cornerstone of digital humanities—the examination of electronic texts and media, along with the use of computational methods in humanities research.

Qualification Requirements
In order to be admitted to the PhD program, you must have an MA record of distinction or a BA record that holds genuine promise for outstanding graduate work. Most students entering the PhD program have grade point averages of 3.5 and above in their previous coursework. Although you need not have majored in English, thorough preparation is essential to success in the program. If you apply to the PhD program with the MA already completed, you may be able to transfer up to 30 hours of graduate coursework from another institution toward the 60 hours required by Loyola University Chicago. Applications must be supported with a statement of purpose, transcripts of undergraduate work and previous graduate courses, GRE scores (the general test only), and three letters of recommendation. Applicants must also supply a writing sample. A grade average of B or better in undergraduate coursework is required. An applicant for admission must ordinarily hold (or receive prior to matriculation) a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. In addition, because academic qualifications are of major importance, the applicant ordinarily must have achieved a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. If you have non-U.S. educational credentials, you are required to submit your official education credentials (e.g., transcripts, mark sheets, degree certificates, graduation diplomas) and evaluation fee directly to any NACES member companies.
