Graduate programs in Comparative Literature combine a core of comparative literature
requirements with courses in selected literatures and further comparative courses, according to
each student's interests. For example, programs of study can concentrate on such topics as
genres, themes, periods, movements, folktale and oral literature, criticism, and the links between
literature and related fields such as theatre or women's studies.
The M.A. is a general humanistic degree that helps prepare students for a variety of situations,
including teaching in private high schools or community colleges, or further graduate work. The
Ph.D. is a more specialized degree. The Ph.D. in comparative literature can be combined with a
minor in a professional field such as teaching English as a second language. Another potential
combination is our dual-title Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Asian Studies.
Only the faculty members and courses officially associated with the Department of Comparative
Literature are listed here. Faculty members and courses in other departments are also available to
Comparative Literature students according to their preparation.
