<p>Hi, everyone:
Now, I'm a junior in the University in Taiwan majored in Foreign Language Department. I hope to take Master degree of English literature in the U.S. after graduation. Here are my questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Could anyone tell me which schools in NY is good for studying English language and literature?</li>
<li>If possible, could you compare them for me? </li>
<li>If there is other graduate schools in other states that you want to commend, I'll appreciate it too.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Check out the US News rankings. That will give you a very comprehensive list of good grad schools.</p>
<p>I agree, check out the U.S. News graduate school rankings in English. They also have rankings for certain specialties within English. If going by general rankings alone, it should be Columbia by far and then Cornell (it is in Ithaca though, not NYC), NYU and CUNY coming in after that.</p>

<p>Actually schrizto, Cornell’s English department is as highly recognized as Columbia’s. NYU and CUNY would be third and fourth in the state and second and third in NYC respectively. If one is willing to expend within a 100 mile radius from NYC, you have many other excellent programs, including Brown, Penn, Princeton, Rutgers, Yale</p>
<p>I think the OP means NY State or doesn’t realize the difference between NYS and NYC.</p>
<p>Cornell
Columbia
NYU
U Rochester
Syracuse
SUNY Buffalo</p>
<p>Fordham University</p>
<p>Actually, I am searching for the schools in the East part of U.S., especially in NY State.</p>
<p>To schrizto: I’ve checked the website you posted. Thanks for your information. </p>
<p>To Alexandre: Thanks for comparing the schools so clearly to me!</p>
<p>If someone has any comments on those schools, please feel free to say! </p>
