Students who major in comparative literature will demonstrate familiarity with a variety of world literatures, as
well as methods of studying literature and culture across national and
linguistic boundaries, and evaluate the nature, function, and value of literature
from a global perspective. They will demonstrate critical reasoning and
research skills; design and conduct research in an individual field of
concentration (such as literary or critical theory, women's literature,
postcolonial studies, literature and film, etc.); analyze a specific body of
research and write a clear and well-developed paper or project about a topic
related to more than one literary and cultural tradition. They will demonstrate
competency in one foreign language and at least a basic knowledge of the
literature written in that language.
