Graduate Study

The Victorian Studies Network is not a degree-granting programme but a campus association designed to facilitate scholarly research and to enhance the experience of studying the Victorian field.  Prospective graduate students interested in advanced study of the Victorian period should consult the individual graduate programs closest to their fields of disciplinary interest for information about admissions and degree requirements.
