Our alumni
Our Ph.D. graduates have had great success in securing a variety of positions within the academy and also beyond it. We are enormously proud of our placement record, which in 2022 alone included seven tenure-track positions.
“The Ph.D. in English at Notre Dame fully prepared me to examine literature, film, media, and other cultural productions using a combination of cutting-edge theoretical, historical, and pedagogical frameworks.…Between my training in seminars, working one-on-one with leading faculty, and various opportunities to teach courses of my own design, I will forever be grateful for my time as a Ph.D. student in English at Notre Dame.”

“The 5+1 Fellowship Program was instrumental in launching my career in publishing. Because I worked for UND Press, I was completely immersed in how they do their craft and how that world operates, I was able to gain a definite edge when it came to applying for jobs.”
