Course Requirements

The comparative literature minor requires a total of seven courses:

  • Four COLT-prefix courses of which no more than two may be lower-division
  • COLT 301 Approaches to Comparative Literature
  • Two upper-division literature or film courses in the same subject area. These can be courses taught in Comparative Literature or in other departments. These two courses are also eligible to be taken abroad or away from the University of Oregon.

Note: All courses must be passed with a grade of mid-C or higher.

At least one term prior to graduation, students should meet with their Tykeson adviser to review the requirements. When the student applies to graduate in DuckWeb, the department is notified. The department will review the student’s Minor Progress Form and transcript. If all requirements have been met, the Registrar will be notified that the student has completed the comparative literature minor.
