History of Department of English and American Literature
In 1952, the Graduate School of Literature established a Department of English and American Literature ahead of other faculties and departments (renamed the Master's degree program in 1984). In 1959, the university was given permission to establish the first doctoral program Department of English and American Literature (renamed the Doctoral degree program in 1984). From the 1997 academic year, the Master's degree program was offered in the day and evening, and all courses were also changed to a semester system. As a result, of the previous capacity of 20 students, approximately 5 were filled by working adults through entrance exams, which remains the case to this day.
