Minor in Comparative Literature
   

 

 

Requirements for the Comparative Literature Minor:

Core Courses 9 units

CWL 400 Approaches to Comparative Literature 3
 2 CWL courses (must fulfill requirements below) 6

These two courses must involve comparison of literary texts from more than one national/linguistic tradition (for example, CWL 420, Studies in Comparative Literature; CWL 430, Heroic Tales of the Mediterranean). One of these courses may be an appropriate lower-division CWL course (for example, CWL 230, Introduction to World Literature; CWL 250, Fables and Tales; CWL 260, Myths of the World).

Program Electives 15 units

In consultation with departmental advisers, students select upper-division literature courses that combine a sense of the historic, linguistic, and critical breadth of literary studies with a student-defined area of focus that fits within the general discipline of comparative literature.

TOTAL MINIMUM UNITS FOR THE CWL MINOR: 24 units

(Please note that up to 6 units, maximum, in lower-division CWL courses only, may be used toward the total units; all other courses must be upper-division courses.)
