In the School of Writing, Literature, and Film we pride ourselves on providing vibrant and forward-looking learning environments for the study of textual disciplines and complex literacies.

We offer full funding to all of our graduate students through graduate teaching assistantships, grants, and fellowships. Graduate students also have opportunities for internships in a wide variety of interdisciplinary programs and centers, including the Writing Intensive Curriculum, the Center for the Humanities, and the OSU Libraries and Press.

Our graduate program distinctively emphasizes

  • A range of courses plus the opportunity for immersive study while researching and writing a thesis in the second year
  • A productive and nationally-visible faculty of scholars and teachers dedicated to student success
  • Internships, teaching and tutorial experiences, and study abroad programs
  • Participation in a rich cultural life in OSU/Corvallis and up and down the Willamette Valley, including the Critical Questions lecture series, an engaged community of readers, and multiple readings, performances, lectures, and cinema events
