This program is a research doctorate (Ph.D.) in Comparative Canadian Literature at the Universite de Sherbrooke, offered by the Faculte des lettres et sciences humaines on the university's main Sherbrooke campus, with admission in the fall, winter, and summer terms. The 90-credit, full-time curriculum trains candidates to make an original contribution to research in comparative Canadian literature by drawing comparisons between the literatures of Canada and Quebec, or between one or more of these literatures and other national literatures or related disciplines. Students undertake supervised doctoral research culminating in an original thesis, developing the ability to situate their comparative literary analysis within relevant historical, cultural, and disciplinary contexts. The program is open to international students studying under the regular full-time regime. Graduates are prepared for research and teaching careers in comparative and Canadian literature at universities and colleges, as well as related work in publishing, cultural institutions, and the arts.
