Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Comparative Literature] From California State University

In addition to taking courses in various national literatures and in English translation, comparative literature students learn how to develop connections between literature and other fields of study. For example, students might develop surprising connections among authors of differing eras and cultures, or make interdisciplinary comparisons among philosophical, sociological, political, artistic, and literary texts of differing eras. With this global perspective, students may enter a number of fields that require the understanding of different cultures.

The Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature requires a minimum of 120 units which includes courses for the major, General Education, all University requirements, and free electives. The comparative literature major consists of 42 units. In selecting courses, students must consult a faculty adviser.
