Majors
There are ten majors available to students within the Department of Literature: Literatures in Cultural Studies, English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Literatures of the World, Writing, and the composite major in two literatures. Requirements vary from major to major. Once a student has decided upon a major in literature, he or she is required to meet regularly with an advisor in the Department of Literature. Worksheets defining major requirements are available in the literature undergraduate office to help students organize their course work.
But what are our Majors all about? Well, this summer we are going to tell you. We will be adding pages for each of our majors with stories from former students, real information on what you can do with a degree in Literature and some sound advice. So if you don't see more information on the major you are interested in, check back, we will have something for you very soon!
All courses taken to satisfy major requirements must be taken for a letter grade.
Special Studies courses (198s and 199s) may not be used to satisfy upper-division secondary literature requirements for the major
For official Literature Requirements, please refer to the UCSD Catalog
