The graduate programs in English specialize in literary and cultural studies from a global perspective. Special areas of strength are Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Nineteenth-Century Studies, and Post-Colonial and American Subjectivities, especially African-American studies. A large faculty serves a small student body to allow for close interaction and mentoring at every stage of graduate study. Our graduate students have access to extraordinary research archives, such as the Folger Shakespeare Library, Library of Congress, National Archives, and libraries connected to the many museums in Washington D.C.
