Major in Comparative Literature
The B.A. in Comparative Literature requires a minimum of 50 credits at the 300 or 400 level:
- C LIT 300
- C LIT 400
- Two differently numbered courses from among C LIT 320, 321, 322, or 323
- Two additional C LIT courses at the 300- or 400-level
- One foreign literature course, studied in the original language*
- Remaining credits in literature courses chosen from among the offerings of Comparative Literature and the following departments: Asian Languages and Literature, Classics, English, Germanics, Near Eastern Studies, Romance Languages and Literature, Scandinavian Studies, and Slavic Languages and Literature.
No course presented toward fulfillment of the 50-credit major requirements may be taken on a credit/no credit or satisfactory/non-satisfactory basis. There is no formal application procedure for declaring the Comparative Literature major; however, a minimum gpa of 2.0 is required in order to be admitted to the program. To declare the major, see the Comparative Literature staff undergraduate adviser.
*Note: Minimum foreign language prerequisite to meet this requirement: completion of the second year (often higher) of the foreign language. Students should consult the departmental adviser to determine the prerequisite language course for the foreign literature course, e.g. German 203 for German 311; French 302 for French 304.
