-Degree Requirements-
The Ph.D. Program in Hispanic Literatures draws on the talents of a diverse faculty whose research interests span Spain and the Americas, from Medieval and colonial multiculturalism to postmodern currents. Our specialties include Renaissance humanism, the transatlantic Baroque, nineteenth-century nation building, and contemporary negotiations between culture and politics, including gender studies and Latino studies. Language is the core of literary analysis, and our faculty teaches texts in the original, primarily in Spanish and Portuguese, but often including other languages (Arabic, Catalan, French, Galician, Hebrew, Mapuche, Quechua, etc.). At the doctoral level, our classes are small seminars and discussion groups, some with specialized foci and others with a panoramic approach.

Candidates for the degree are expected to prove evidence of general understanding of the Hispanic literatures. For examination purposes, the field is divided into six areas, three in Spanish Peninsular literature (Medieval, Golden Age, and 18th-20th centuries) and three in Latin American literature (Colonial, 18th-19th centuries, and 20th century).
Each student is examined in all six fields, choosing one as a special field. The two parts of the examination (general and special field) may be taken separately.
Students of Spanish are required to complete the equivalent of one half-course at the 100 or 200 level in Portuguese or Brazilian literature.
