Description
The flexibility to combine courses from several national literatures and to study literature along with other disciplines, and to consider the political stakes of national literatures and reading transnationally, is the hallmark of the Comparative Literature & Literary Translation major. The major offers two tracks: Comparative Literature and Literary Translation. In the former, a minimum of eight credits must come from literature courses in which texts are primarily read in a language other than English. In the latter, creative writing courses help students focus on the theory and practice of translating into English(es).
