Ph.D. in Literature
The Ph.D.
in Literature, offered by the Program
in Literature, is an innovative interdisciplinary program which
focuses on the study of literature from a transnational and intercultural
perspective. Combining in one doctoral program the forces of a number
of departments and programs--Classics (Arabic, Greek, Latin, Syriac),
East Asian Studies, French and Francophone Studies, German and Russian,
Iberian and Latin American Studies (Portuguese and Spanish), Irish Studies,
Italian Studies and Philosophy and Theology--the Ph.D. in Literature
brings together outstanding faculty and resources to enable doctoral
students to study literature both within traditional disciplines and
across disciplinary and national boundaries.
Uniquely tailored to take advantage of Notre Dame's many resources, the program offers an unprecedented level of intellectual and financial support. All admitted doctoral students will be funded for at least five years in the form of full tuition waivers and teaching, research, or graduate fellowships.
