Currently,
there is a moratorium on admissions to Comparative Literature. The
program is being modified. In the future, we hope to offer a concentration
in comparative literature as an option in masters programs in English,
Spanish, or French.
Our master
of arts (M.A.) program offers advanced work in literary criticism &
theory based on the major national literatures spanning Europe, North America,
Africa, and Latin America. Over a two-year period, four program seminars
provide methodological foundations for related study in national literatures,
cultural critique, literary aesthetics, and hermeneutics. The degree prepares
students for doctoral study in the national literatures and further work
in comparative literature. Participating faculty includes specialists in
Spanish & Latin American, French & Francophone, English & North
American, African diaspora, German, Russian, and Italian literatures. |
