Minor
This minor is for students who have an interest in the literature of several different countries and/or cultures and wish to explore that literature through English translation. The minor consists of four courses (16 points) taught in English with a focus on foreign (i.e., not originally written in English) literature offered by participating CAS disciplines (classics, comparative literature, dramatic literature, East Asian studies, English, French, German, Hebrew and Judaic studies, Italian, Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, Russian and Slavic studies, and Spanish and Portuguese). A student majoring in a specific language cannot take courses within that language department for this minor. In addition, a student must take courses from at least two different departments for this minor, with no more than two courses from the same department. No grade lower than a C counts toward this minor. This minor is declared and advised through the Department of French.
