Welcome to the Program in Comparative Literary Studies at Northwestern University

The Program in Comparative Literary Studies (CLS) brings together distinguished scholars from the various literature departments and other disciplines. Its majors pursue a broad program of study that enables them to become familiar with two national literary traditions, acquire knowledge of literary theory, study the relation between literature and other media as well as between literature and other disciplines, and form a concentration in an area of particular interest to themselves. The Ph.D. program combines an intensive study in a "home department" with a thorough training in theory and in the methodology of comparative literature. The program sponsors many lectures and colloquia which are free and open to the public.
