The English PhD program focusing on Creative Writing is distinct from both fine arts degrees and conventional literature doctorates with creative components. This curriculum aims to enhance students' writing abilities while deepening their understanding of their genre's historical context and pertinent critical theories. Our English Department forms a vibrant community of readers and writers committed to examining and creatively engaging with our multifaceted world. We are storytellers at heart, passionate about language, and dedicated scholars of the diverse realities captured and envisioned through literature.
