Liberal Arts: Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies Major

All of the courses required in the Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies (CLCS)  major are topic-based and explore literature and culture from multiple perspectives.  Four major elective courses are selected in consultation with the student’s major advisor (see description below). Students planning a major in CLCS should enroll in LC 100 or LC 110 prior to taking upper-division classes in the major.

Our program is both rigorous and flexible. We support our students in designing their own educational path, which culminates in a year-long senior thesis or an internship. In both cases, this final focus on an original piece of research, or on a specific professional arena, prepares our graduates for success on the job market.
