Comparative Literature
Major
The major in Comparative Literature consists of fifteen courses, including both 401 and a two-semester Independent Study Thesis (451 and 452).
The student’s specific program will be formulated in consultation with her or his adviser and the chairperson of the Comparative Literature Program, who will seek the required approval of the Curriculum Committee for Comparative Literature. Approval should be requested by or before the first semester of the junior year.
The major will include work of a specifically comparative character, some emphasis on a single national literature, and a coherent combination of courses in other national literatures.
