Washington University in St. Louis PhD in Comparative Literature and Thought: International Writers Track
The International Writers Track of the PhD in Comparative Literature at Washington University in St. Louis serves highly qualified international students who are writers in a broad sense, from poets and novelists to translators and journalists. Students pursue comparative and theoretical study while working on their own writing and translations, and share a common seminar, Literature in the Making. The degree aims to help graduates enter writing and publishing, including in their home countries.
- Funding: Fully funded
- 5 years
The PhD offers full financial support for five years to students in good standing: full tuition remission and a stipend (amount not listed on the program page). The International Writers Track is for highly qualified international students, with "writer" defined broadly: poets, fiction writers, essayists, translators, journalists, screenwriters and others. Students can work on their own writing and translations alongside comparative literary study, and the degree is meant to help them enter writing and publishing, in and outside the academy and in their home countries.
