The program is full-time and normally takes four years to complete, with a maximum completion time of six years. Admission requires a completed four-year undergraduate degree (or equivalent) and a completed master's degree, with at least one of the two degrees in English literature, and a minimum GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale at the graduate level.
