Program Overview
Comparative literature at LSU is an interdisciplinary program that encourages students to approach literary studies from multiple perspectives. A core curriculum grounded in the history of literary criticism and theory and training in at least three languages and national literary traditions prepares students in the PhD program to undertake comparative, interdisciplinary research. With the guidance of faculty, students develop their own degree plans and research agendas meant to combine the study of literature, literary theory, language, philosophy, art, history, and other cultural phenomena including science and social science in exciting, fruitful, and innovative ways.
