Stony Brook University - Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies
 


The Department of Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies (CLCS) offers two graduate programs: one in Comparative Literature (M.A. and Ph.D. degrees) and one in Cultural Studies (M.A. and Ph.D. degree). The programs are distinct, with different requirements, and applicants must specify to which program they are applying, but students in one program may include the other as one of their primary fields of study.

Comparative Literature Graduate Program: M.A.

"Comparative" means nothing less than the crossing of national, linguistic, gender, genre, and class boundaries. (Not that boundaries are always artificial, but someone's got to be sure one way or another and we're here to do so.) Our eminent faculty are among the most productive and innovative at Stony Brook.

The Master's Program in Comparative Literature is designed both for students who seek only an M.A. degree and for those who intend to continue toward the Ph.D. In addition to knowledge of major texts of world literature, the program requires courses in Comparative Literature methodology and literary theory.
