Mission Welcome to the Comparative Literature Program! If you have an independent mind, interests in global perspectives, and a commitment to the study of world literatures, you will find your intellectual home in our program.
Comparative Literature majors take a global approach to the study of literature, crossing national and cultural boundaries (from Slavic to Spanish, from English to East Asian languages, from Italian to Arabic), while also crossing disciplines (from literary studies to Black Studies, Chicana/o Studies, and Film and Media Studies). They have the flexibility to tailor a sequence of courses to their own interests and to learn about diverse approaches to literature from ancient to modern times.
