I am in the process of applying for phd programs. I've submitted several applications so far and one university has requested a bibliography, another writing sample, chapter breakdown of my thesis, and a literature review prior to inviting me to a Zoom interview. Is it normal for schools to request a literature review and chapter outline prior to an offer of placement/acceptance into the school? So far, none of the other programs have made this request. I assumed the literature review came while writing the actual dissertation.

Hello, I am finishing my 2nd masters. I am 2 classes away and should be done by June. My first masters is a MFA Creative Writing - Fiction and this second masters is a MA English - Gothic Studies. My next goal is a PhD program in English, Literature, or Creative Writing. I am struggling to find any programs. Due to having special needs pets and living in the middle of Indiana, I need an program that is all online (I will have finished both masters online). I need help and advice on schools. So far, I have found Old Dominion University's PhD program. It is on my list, but I am apprehensive about the 2 summer sessions that require travel to the main campus. I am also apprehensive about the language requirements I have been seeing. Are there any programs that don't require a language requirement? Does anyone know of online PhD programs?
