The Guide covers doctoral programs in the United States and Canadian departments of English, modern languages other than English, and comparative literature. For this initial release of the Guide, 380 of the 596 doctorate-granting departments in the United States and Canada that the MLA contacted in January 2001 have provided at least some information about their doctoral programs.

In addition to going on to pursue a wide range of careers, English majors also often go on to attend graduate school, whether in the Humanities (MA/PhD), Creative Writing (MFA), Business School (MBA), Law School (JD), or Medical School (MD). The resources below are geared predominantly but not exclusively to those interested in an MA and/or PhD in English (or Comparative Literature).  They are designed to provide very basic information about applying to graduate schoolPlease keep in mind that requirements, guidelines, and timelines can all vary widely depending on the field of study, the institution, and the program.  Consult with professors and others who have knowledge of the field and potential programs, and check with individual schools to see specific application details.
