  2. A complementary grouping of literature courses at the 300-level or above in a minimum of two languages, one of which may be English. At least 12 credits each, with the necessary foreign languages as prerequisites. Twelve of these credits may be a combination of undergraduate courses in Comparative Literature and English.

Honors Concentration. To be eligible for an Honors concentration in Comparative Literature, students should have a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.2, and a 3.5 grade point average in courses counting toward the concentration. Students who elect an Honors degree will write an Honors thesis during the final year of their course work.

Advising. Prospective concentrators should consult the Comparative Literature concentration advisor as early as possible about developing a challenging and unified interdepartmental program of study.
