Comparative Studies
About
Develop mastery in a specific research area in one discipline within the humanistic tradition of intellectual and artistic creativity (e.g., literature, art history, philosophy, music, dance, film, etc.), enhanced by relevant interdisciplinary knowledge and skills.
Advanced Research and Scholarly Writing
Produce scholarly writing in the form of a Master's thesis that demonstrates original scholarship and analysis as well as mastery of existing scholarship, the revision process, and oral presentation. Student theses are intended to be publishable and are often used as writing samples for PhD program applications.
Additional Disciplinary Proficiency
Demonstrate additional disciplinary proficiency either in a second foreign language (evidenced by completing a 300 level course with a significant literary component, but not the same course(s) used for the general language requirement) or advanced course work in a discipline other than literature (e.g., art history, history, philosophy, film, etc.), which results in mastery of a specific disciplinary language. Graduate advisors must approve students' areas of emphasis.
Effective Critical and Analytical Thinking
Demonstrate critical and analytical thinking through extensive critical reading, lively classroom discussion, analytical and persuasive writing, and formal oral presentations of their research.

LDS applicants need an ecclesiastical endorsement interview with a bishop and a stake president. Non-LDS applicants need an ecclesiastical endorsement from their local religious leader and a phone interview with the BYU Chaplain. Continuing and currently enrolled BYU students applying for graduate school, as well as full-time BYU employees applying for a graduate program, must also obtain a new endorsement. All applicants are encouraged to complete the Ecclesiastical Endorsement process well in advance of their respective graduate program application deadlines to prevent possible delays in being considered for admission.
