Master's Program in Literature, Criticism, and Rhetoric (Literature)

The Department of Literature is a fundamental pillar of the College of Arabic Language and Literature, as its history dates back to the founding of the first university, when the Arabic Language Department was opened in the year 1385/1386 AH.

Then the literary materials presented in it represented the initial nucleus of an integrated system upon which the Department of Literature was later built when the Department of Arabic Language was transformed into (the College of Arabic Language and Literature) at Umm Al-Qura University.

This department has achieved leadership in literary studies since its beginnings, as it has an elite group of literature professors in the Kingdom and the Arab world. He still plays his pioneering role, as evidenced by his distinguished outputs in the academic sector and in various relevant cultural institutions.
