Key Summary

About: The Comparative Literature program offers a multidisciplinary approach, allowing students to explore literature across cultures and languages. You'll analyze texts from various disciplines, enhancing your understanding of literary theories and global narratives.

Career Outcomes: Graduates may pursue careers in academia, publishing, translation, cultural criticism, and literary journalism. This program equips you with skills for roles in education, international relations, and more.

The study of Comparative Literature situates literature in an international perspective; examines transnational cultural connections through literary history, literary criticism, critical theory, and poetics; and works toward a nuanced understanding of the socio-cultural functions of literature.

Besides representing literary and cultural study with a global reach, the Comparative Literature major aims to develop student analytic and interpretive skills that are the hallmark of liberal arts education. By promoting sustained engagement with language(s) and texts, our program encourages majors to become attuned to the complexities of human communication within and across many borders.
