Columbia University, based in New York, NY offers a fully funded PhD in English. The Department of English and Comparative Literature has a large program by contemporary standards, which allows us to offer a wide range of courses and to admit a great variety of students. All admitted students are fully funded with tuition, fees, and a stipend. Funding is for 6 years for students who do the full program or 5 years for students who have received an M.A. in literature elsewhere. International students and U.S. citizens receive the same funding.
