Requirements for the A.B. Degree in Comparative Literature

Besides satisfying all the core requirements for the A.B. degree in Arts and Sciences, students can meet a major leading to the A.B. degree in Comparative Literature in two ways:

1. In addition to the completion of the fourth semester foreign language course, the general major program requires CMLT 4010, CMLT 4020, and seven additional courses in CMLT at the 4000 level. Up to three of the 3000-level courses may be substituted for any of these additional courses. In consultation with the Undergraduate Coordinator, students will plan a program of study within the Comparative Literature Department broadly focused on a literary period, genre or problem.
2. An alternative program offers the possibility of combining Comparative Literature courses with courses devoted to a national literature read in the original language.

This major program requires:

1. CMLT 4010, CMLT 4020, and three additional CMLT courses at the 4000 level. One 3000-level course may be substituted for any of these additional courses.
2. Two 3-hour courses in a national literature other than English at the 3000/4000-level read in the original language.
3. Two additional 3-hour courses at the 3000/4000 level in Comparative Literature, OR two additional 3-hour courses at the 3000 or 4000 level in a foreign national literature, OR two additional 3-hour courses at the 3000 or 4000 level in English. In consultation with the Undergraduate Coordinator, students will plan a program of study that integrates foreign language and comparative literature. At least 15 hours of the required 27 hours must be earned at UGA. Please see the UGA Bulletin for more information.
