The undergraduate program in Comparative Literature welcomes students interested in the study of literature from theoretical, interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, and global perspectives.  The core courses train students to appreciate the variety of meanings that texts acquire in different institutional and philosophical contexts and different socio-political frameworks.  There are three concentrations within the major: National and Transnational Literatures (four courses in each of two languages), Theory, and Globalization.
