The department provides a Ph.D. program with five main focus areas: French and Francophone Studies, German Studies, Italian Literary and Cultural Studies, Spanish Studies, and Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies. Alongside these primary specializations, students can pursue secondary concentrations in Applied Linguistics, Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, Digital Culture and Media Studies, and Film. Collaborative opportunities exist to create customized secondary specializations with other university programs, such as Medieval Studies, Gender Studies, Human Rights, and Judaic Studies.
The Ph.D. in Literatures, Cultures and Languages adopts an interdisciplinary framework for its diverse curriculum. Emphasizing the interconnectedness of regional cultures, historical periods, and scholarly methods, the program views literary and cultural studies as vital to understanding our globalized world. A key goal is exploring how literature, culture, and language transcend traditional academic, national, and regional divisions. Research specializations are designed to complement one another, fostering an integrated approach. With faculty expertise spanning numerous disciplines, graduate students can craft tailored, interdisciplinary study paths while maintaining rigorous academic focus.
