MA World Literature Program

The World Literature Program offers a master of arts degree. Students pursuing the MA take courses that investigate visual arts, film, and music as well as literature, reflecting a belief that literature and the arts are in permanent dialogue. The program takes an interdisciplinary perspective in which cultural history and aesthetic history coexist. Along with the Department of Classics, which hosts the program, World Literature is associated with other departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, including cognitive science, modern languages and literatures, philosophy, history, and religious studies.
