CPLIT-PHD - Comparative Literature (PhD)

The Comparative Literature PhD program is designed for students with a broad linguistic background, a breadth of interest in different literatures, and curiosity about the problems of literary scholarship and theory (including the relation of literature to other disciplines). Students take courses in at least three literatures (one may be that of the native language) to be studied in the original language. The program is designed to encourage familiarity with the major approaches to literary study prevailing today.
