Bachelor [Comparative Literature] From Haverford College

Students analyze literary texts from two distinct national cultures, and consider them comparatively. Our curriculum develops in each of our majors the tools they need to do this: advanced language skills in at least one language other than English; an understanding of the distinctive character of the literature of particular national cultures; and a familiarity with interpretive methods derived from a range of disciplines. Students do advanced in two languages (one of which can be English) with sufficient mastery to engage with the literature and culture in the original.
