Our graduate program in literature offers in-depth coursework and academic research opportunities that build on the foundational training in English language skills and literature analyses offered in undergraduate programs. Our overarching goals are to continue to nurture students’ critical reasoning and English language competence beyond the undergraduate level and to empower future professionals to contribute to their chosen fields of expertise.

The Graduate Institute of Literature originally focused on cultural studies with an emphasis on the interdisciplinary and creative nature of humanities research. In recent years, the Institute’s research interests have broadened to include literary theory, visual culture, gender studies, and interdisciplinary humanities research, while exploring their interfaces with a wide range of diverse texts.
