Overview
Examining the ways in which the humanities have engaged with socio-political and ethical concerns in a contemporary world, our interdisciplinary and progressive perspective generates new and exciting scholarship.
A clear emphasis on language and linguistics allows for thinking through the temporalities and nuances of addressing the fundamental questions concerning the study of the humanities.
Our programs provide qualified students with the framework necessary for studying not only a broad range of literatures, but also other arts and the pursuit of translation studies or interdisciplinary studies.
After You Graduate
Many graduates of the Comparative Literature program at Binghamton University have earned placements at international universities on several continents. But even more teach in the United States at public universities or private colleges, in roles that vary greatly due to the range of skills that our program offers.
