Overview
Education
The Comparative Literary Studies program at Northwestern University’s methodological areas of strength include classical traditions, critical theory, modernism, poetry and poetics, and visual culture and media.
In addition to their studies within the program, students also take coursework in their “home departments,” which provides training comparable to that of a PhD in a national literary field, qualifying graduates to work in national language and literature departments. Students’ teaching and research assistantship opportunities are coordinated with their specific goals.
