1) Below are the program student learning outcomes submitted last year. Please add/delete/modify as needed.
The Ph.D. program is intended for highly motivated students who have a clear sense of direction and are likely to contribute significantly to the field. Ph.D. candidates are given a great deal of freedom to create an individualized program around their own interests and objectives. Students are required to take a small number of courses, both within the department and outside of it, but the focus of their study is determined by the students themselves in consultation with their advisors, and their preparation for their area examinations in three fields takes place largely outside of class. The three principal formal requirements are the area exams, the prospectus, and the dissertation.defense, which is open to the public. The doctoral program prepares students to become professionals in the field. Candidates completing the program should have the skills and experience to function as critics, scholars, and writers in an area associated with the profession of English.
