    Comparative Literature

    About

    Overview At the lower division, potential majors in Comparative Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara build a solid background in foreign languages by studying 2 years of one (or more) language(s) other than English. They also take 2 survey courses in Comparative Literature that cover a wide variety of literary works across periods, genres, and national traditions.Once they have reached upper-division standing, majors in Comparative Literature need to complete 2 requirements (2 courses in Comparative Literature, CLIT 100: Introduction to Comparative literature or CLIT 101: Introduction to Literary and Critical Theory, and CLIT 198: Junior/Senior Seminar, or CLIT 198H: Senior Honors Seminar), and take 8 additional courses (or 32 units), 3 of which must be within the Comparative Literature program. Within such parameters, majors build a personally-satisfying sequence of courses, focused on the nature, function, and value of literature and culture in a broadly comparative context. They learn about diverse approaches to literary study, ancient and modern literary theory, and interdisciplinary methodologies to the study of world literatures.
