Candidates are admitted to the PhD program only, but the MA is awarded to students who complete requirements set by the director of graduate studies.

The Italian PhD program at Johns Hopkins University emphasizes work in three complementary areas: literary history, close textual analysis, and theory of interpretation, with a focus on the study of evolving cultures of literacy—from manuscripts and the material history of the book to performance, film, and emerging digital cultures. Specializations involving other languages, literatures, and humanistic disciplines can also be arranged by our PhD students.
