Overview
Our small size allows us to offer a generous financial support package, details of which are outlined on our department website. At the same time, we have a large and diverse graduate faculty with competence in a wide range of literary, theoretical, and cultural fields. Students choose a Special Committee of three faculty members, from whom they receive a great deal of individual attention.
Features
- Working with this committee, students design their own courses of study within the very broad framework laid down by the department.
- The English Language and Literature program at Cornell University is extremely flexible in regard to such matters as course selection, the design of examinations, and the election of minor subjects of concentration outside the department
