This PhD is a thesis-based doctoral program in the Department of English at Dalhousie University, offered since 1967, allowing students to pursue academic research into literary, social, and cultural history. Students undertake independent, supervisor-guided research leading to a dissertation defended before a faculty committee. Admission normally requires a Master's degree in English, together with the Faculty of Graduate Studies minimum grade requirement, and applicants must submit a 500-word statement of intent describing the proposed area of thesis research; a separate writing sample is not required unless the department requests one. The program is delivered in-person on a full-time basis, with intake in September. Graduates have gone on to careers in publishing, postsecondary teaching, immigration education, digital humanities, information technology, and academic administration. The Department of English administers program-specific admission guidelines alongside university-wide graduate admission standards.
