The minor requires 15 credits of Comparative Literature courses at the 200 level and above, with a minimum of nine credits at the 300 level and above. Proficiency in one foreign language is required. All courses should be selected with the help of an advisor.

A. 200-level courses: a maximum of two such courses. This part of the requirement should be fulfilled, if possible, prior to taking courses numbered 300-599, since 200-level courses are introductory to the discipline.

B. Courses numbered 300-599: the student must select a minimum of three such courses. One 200-level course may count toward this part of the requirement if the student makes special arrangements with the instructor to do work in a foreign language.

Proficiency in the foreign language will be determined by the Comparative Literature Undergraduate Studies Committee on the basis of level of prior foreign language courses and grades, or a university exam, or the equivalent.

If English is not the native language, students can offer their native language to fulfill the foreign language requirement, but must then show evidence of proficiency in English.

Transfer credits: The program will allow a maximum transfer of 6 upper-level Comparative Literature credits. The determination of transfer credits toward the minor will be made by the Undergraduate Studies Committee upon petition by the student.

The Pass/Fail option is not available for courses to be credited toward the minor.

Independent study courses: The student may count toward the minor only one 3-credit independent study course taken in the Comparative Literature program at the 300 level or above. Any such course requires knowledge of and work in a minimum of one foreign language.
