Preparing for the Major

Students interested in Comparative Literature should begin with COMPLIT 101 — What Is Comparative Literature?, the gateway course for the major.

Early in their studies, it is recommended that students take introductory courses in literature, language, or the humanities to build a foundation in literary traditions, theory, and languages.

To plan their course of study, including electives and any thematic or regional focus, students should consult the department's Program Worksheet, available from the DLCL Undergraduate Student Services Officer opens in a new tab, and discuss it with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS).

Declaring the Major

To declare the major, complete the Comparative Literature declaration worksheet opens in a new tab, meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), and then declare via Axess.

Once approved by the department Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), submit the completed and signed worksheet to the DLCL Undergraduate Student Services Officer opens in a new tab via email.
