Overview
Comparative Literature offers you – the adventurous, creative student – the freedom to chart your own path through our broad range of courses and to combine our courses with those of other departments. Comparative literature encourages you to think in original and exciting ways about the relationship between literatures, arts, cultures, and environments. By providing you with the opportunity to make innovative connections among a diverse array of human arts and experiences, comparative literature prepares you for a globalized world.
Comparative Literature isn’t just for students looking for a future in the humanities, either. It trains you in the fundamental skills that can lead to success in any career path. Our courses will teach you how to express yourself effectively, how to write clearly, how to solve problems in creative and innovative ways, and how to understand and relate to people with differing opinions or background from yourself.
