World Literature

World Literature is ideal for students who are keenly interested in literature, languages, cross-cultural dynamics and international travel. 

World Literature examines how meanings change as literature moves from one culture to another.

World Literature discovers writing from around the globe - poetry, fictuion, drama, screenplays, travelogues and essays - that has circulated beyond its original culture to acquire new life in other languages, nations and traditions. 

Students can combine the study of World Literature with travel, international exchanges, or field schools.

Although English is the language of instruction in World Literature, students also have the opportunity to study world languages such as Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Persian, Spanish and more!

World Literature is designed to prepare students for global and multicultural professions in the 21st century.

Students can enter World Literature via Explorations or the Global Issues FLC.
