Design Your Program of Study
1. Choose Your Track
The Language and Culture track features comparative study across different linguistic traditions. This track is recommended for students who want to study abroad, attend graduate school in Comparative Literature, or want to gain an in-depth understanding of linguistic cultures in addition to their own.
The Disciplines in Dialogue track requires less formal language study and allows students to combine the critical study of literature with work in another field. This emphasis offers a manageable path for students considering a double major in literature and another discipline. It is also well-suited to students who want to combine literary and Cinema Studies with Creative Writing, Performance, Visual Arts, Philosophy, History, or Journalism.
2. Choose Your Focus Fields
Students in the Language and Culture track choose two Linguistic Tradition fields. Students in the Disciplines in Dialogue track chose a Linguistic Tradition and a Disciplinary Focus Field.
