Program Description
The PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures focuses on Russian literature, giving special attention to rich and innovative readings of major works, their relation to cultural and intellectual history, and the questions they raise for problems of literary criticism and theory. The program also provides training in language teaching methodology. Above all, the program is designed to help students think creatively and write effectively.

Students in this program are also encouraged to participate in TGS’s Interdisciplinary Initiative program.  For more information on how you can have a second intellectual “home” outside of your department or program please visit the Interdisciplinary Initiative page.
