Comparative Literature BA

Comparative Literature is the interdisciplinary study of literatures and cultures from different critical perspectives and from different national groups. In the broadest sense, it gives you the tools to compare and contrast the experiences, identities, and material products of people in other places or at other times. Those who study Comparative Literature will acquire valuable skills in literary analysis, cultural awareness, and critical thinking, argumentation, and writing. Sensitive to the manner in which different national groups conceive their identities in an era of globalization, students of Comparative Literature aim at international awareness through humanistic inquiry.
