博士 该计划在文学和创造性写作方面提供双重重点，并在论文的最后阶段将批评性分析与创造性独创性相结合。博士候选人不仅在研究其创造性作品的文学和历史环境时将阅读和撰写的文字作为奖学金的最终成果，而且还将文字视为作家创作的内容，然后将文字撰写为作家，这一过程进入文学研究和文学本身的来源。论文的结构体现了文学与创意写作的这种融合，在批判性探究的背景下介绍了创意作品，汇集了文学行为的考察和体现，是一种新型的学术和创意创新模式。
The program provides dual emphasis in literature and creative writing, culminating in the dissertation, which combines critical analysis with creative originality. Roughly half of the dissertation is based on original research, that is to say, research contributing to knowledge which enriches or changes the field. Doctoral candidates not only read and write texts as finished products of scholarship in researching their creative work's literary and historical milieu, but also consider the text as writers create it, then compose texts as writers, a process that goes to the source of the study of literature and of literature itself. This integration of literature and creative writing is reflected in the structure of the dissertation, which introduces the creative work within a context of critical inquiry, bringing together the examination and embodiment of the literary act, a new model of scholarship and creative innovation.
