Minor in Comparative Literature

The Minor in Comparative Literature offers an opportunity to study texts in a manner that transcends national and linguistic boundaries. Comparative literature enables students, through their majors, to develop a solid grounding in one particular tradition (e.g., English, Spanish, French) or one discipline (e.g., history, music) while also embracing a broader perspective. A student minoring in comparative literature may wish to pursue graduate work in comparative literature or in a specific national literary tradition or to pursue a career in translation, teaching, publishing, or writing. A Minor in Comparative Literature discourages parochialism and fosters the sophistication that a liberal arts degree is designed to recognize.

All students pursuing the Minor in Comparative Literature must complete 18 semester credit hours.

A. 12 semester credit hours of upper-division literature courses, selected from at least two of the following disciplines: classics, English, French, German, Italian, Russian, or Spanish

B. 6 semester credit hours of upper-division courses in comparative studies in the humanities:

1. CSH 3013 Theory and Practice of Comparative Literature (3 hours)

2. 3 semester credit hours of an additional upper-division CSH course
