Our PhD program admits students directly, welcoming applicants with either a Bachelor's or Master's degree. We evaluate candidates with undergraduate and graduate degrees in English, along with those holding advanced degrees in related fields such as literary studies, cultural anthropology, gender studies, and creative writing.
Renowned for its academic rigor and boundary-pushing approach, our doctoral program allows students to tailor their coursework and examinations to align with their research focus and dissertation goals, rather than following rigid distribution requirements. This flexible approach fosters creative dissertations and accelerates degree completion.
Our faculty consists of highly accomplished, innovative scholars and dedicated mentors. Recent Academic Analytics data ranks UF's English faculty first among public AAU institutions for book publications and fifth among all university English departments nationwide.
