Pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in English at St. John's University in New York City. St. John's distinctive Ph.D. program blends intensive academic research and writing with pedagogical training. As a doctoral candidate, you'll engage in advanced literary, cultural, and writing studies while preparing for teaching careers.
