Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature

Comparative Literature at UNB attempts to understand the cultural and linguistic differences that separate them. Students will study literature across national borders, time periods, and languages and genres. On this program, students will read literatures in translation and discuss the implications of taking a literary text from one language to another. Students will also learn how a broad understanding of world literature can help us grasp the unity of humankind through texts, while exploring the relationship between literature and other disciplines. This program offers opportunities to students to participate as authors and/or editors for the literary Vox, as contributors to theatre production courses, and as developers of interdisciplinary discussions on a variety of genres.
