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. The Graduate Program in English is founded on a profound commitment to the synergy between scholarship and teaching. A strong mentoring program allows for small groups of faculty to guide graduate students from their MA and Ph.D. exams through their dissertation and, ultimately, their academic job search. Whether teaching in our Rhetoric and Composition program or in an upper-level literature class, graduate students benefit from a strong support system of fellow scholar-teachers that includes frequent, faculty-led seminars on effective teaching in the literature classroom. A diverse array of intellectual and social groups, some led by faculty members and others student-run, allows students to share their research, to collaborate on larger projects, to develop confidence in their scholarship and teaching, and to cultivate the professionalism and camaraderie necessary to succeed in our challenging profession.
