Title: General Literary Studies (GLS)
Location: US
Company: Education
While the program does not offer a major, its courses serve the literary interests of all students and provide greater breadth for majors in foreign languages and in English. The General Literary Studies program reflects the assumption that, as an educated person, you will wish to extend your experience of literature beyond what has been written in your native tongue and beyond what you can read in the foreign languages you have mastered. You’ll enrich your education by exploring literature in translation and discovering a variety of illuminating relationships among works in different languages.
Through the study of literature, you’ll unlock your mind and increase your own perception of the world and its people. You’ll develop critical thinking and analysis skills that will allow you to reflect upon, ask questions, and understand diverse cultures, people, and ideas — skills that are essential to your success as a global citizen.
