Mission/Description

The Graduate Program in English at UNC Chapel Hill has a long tradition of scholarly excellence in a number of different fields. Our program is consistently ranked among the top twenty Ph.D. programs in the United States, and we have particular strengths in the fields of African-American literature, colonial and nineteenth-century American literature, Renaissance and early modern literature, and Southern literature. With over fifty full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members, UNC’s Department of English allows students to work across a wide range of traditional historical periods as well as emerging fields of inquiry. The intellectual and scholarly breadth of the Department of English, as well as its strong interdisciplinary ties to other curricula and programs within the university, encourages graduate students to take full advantage of the extensive research facilities at UNC Chapel Hill and at other major universities throughout North Carolina’s Research Triangle.
