Welcome to the web page for Graduate Studies in the Department of English at the University of Delaware. We offer courses of study in English and American Literature leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. in Literature, as well as an M.A. in Literature and Pedagogy. We take pride in our lively intellectual community, the strength of our program across the curriculum, and the extraordinary opportunities we offer graduate students as they develop their skills as scholar-teachers.

Our graduate students can expect to receive competitive funding packages, to participate in faculty-student research colloquia in addition to their course-work, to teach independently a variety of writing and literature courses, and to receive active support as they prepare to enter the academic job market.

The University is perfectly located for students to enjoy the benefits of both Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., in addition to the cultural and intellectual resources closer at hand in Delaware. The toolbar at the top of the page will give you more specific information about aspects of our program and what we have to offer.
