A student of Comparative Literature, youll take a global approach to the study of literature, crossing national and cultural boundaries, while also crossing disciplines. Youll have the flexibility to tailor your sequence of courses based on your own interests and to learn about diverse approaches to literature from ancient to modern times. Comparative literature, an interdepartmental undergraduate and graduate program, combines the study of national literatures with courses that address the relationships between literature and other disciplines and fields such as cultural studies, gender studies, linguistics, philosophy, religious studies, translation studies, media and technology studies, psychology, cognitive sciences as well as the fine and performing arts.
