Why Study Comparative Literature?
Once you have a foundation in comparative literature, we encourage you to begin developing
your own degree path and research agenda. This freedom allows you to explore exciting
and innovative ways to study language, literature, art and culture in a way that speaks
to your own passions and interests.
Conferences
Since 1999, our department has hosted an annual Comparative Literature Conference
that's affiliated with INTERTEXTS, a journal published by Texas Tech University Press.
