Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Comparative Literature] From Beloit College

Comparative literature students often supplement their majors by studying languages at Beloit and overseas and by taking part in college-wide events like the International Student Symposium and other literary events that emphasize world literatures.

The major in comparative literature rests on the premise that responsible criticism of literature requires not only a thorough knowledge of a language plus its literary and intellectual tradition, but also a careful study of at least one other literature composed in a different language, place, or time.

Comparative literature students are encouraged to study literature and culture in Beloit's international programs. Some majors also enroll in Beloit's summer Center for Language Studies. Majors find internships on campus publications, working as translators, or writing and teaching in international settings.
