The Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures at Harvard is the only one of its kind in North America. The department offers training in the languages and traditions of several Celtic languages, and our Ph.D. program requires that students master at least two Celtic languages—Irish and Welsh—in their early (medieval) forms and at least one in its modern form. The program aims to provide Ph.D. candidates with a broad knowledge of the field of Celtic studies, its history, theory, and many diverse branches.
