The Graduate Certificate Program in Poetics and Theory at New York University provides a flexible curricular structure for students to make room in their schedule for a more systematic exploration of theoretical approaches than can usually be accommodated within national or area-studies literature programs. It is a structure more than a canon and, while a common seminar, reading groups, and an annual conference provide community, the students are free to develop a set of courses within any theoretical domain. Since students add only one additional semester of class work, the program enhances their regular disciplinary course of study.
