The Department of Comparative Literature and Foreign Languages offers courses and degree programs in Western and non-Western national literatures, languages, and civilizations. It also has programs in Comparative Literature, Comparative Ancient Civilizations, and Linguistics. The department believes in the importance of offering fundamental training in the humanities in their own literary and linguistic contexts as well as in their cultural and interdisciplinary dimensions. Accordingly, students may obtain degrees or take courses in a specialized field, while at the same time enhancing the breadth of their education within and outside of the department. The department offers the following majors leading to the B.A. degree. Asian Literatures and Cultures The B.A. degree in Asian Literatures and Cultures offers a diverse, flexible program for students interested in the study of Asian languages, cultures, and literatures. Under this heading, students can choose either the Chinese or Japanese track. Classical Studies The B.A. in Classical Studies combines the study of Greek and/or Latin language and literature with courses which explore the historical, philosophical, political, and cultural developments of Greece and Rome and their impact on Western civilization. The department is a joint member of the UC Tri-Campus Graduate Program in Classics (UCI, UCR, UCSD), which offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Classics. Comparative Ancient Civilizations For the B.A. in Comparative Ancient Civilizations, students employ the methods of humanities and social sciences in the comparison study of several major cultures of the past. They acquire skills of historical and social analysis, multicultural awareness, and insight into constructions of civilizations in general. Comparative Literature The department offers the B.A. degree in Comparative Literature and the M.A. and Ph.D. graduate degrees. While students majoring in Comparative Literature must have a knowledge of the languages involved in the literatures of their choice, Comparative Literature courses themselves are open to all students. All work is done in translation and the courses are given in English. French, Germanic Studies, and Russian Studies The B.A. degree is offered in French, Germanic Studies, and Russian Studies. Requirements for degrees include proficiency in the language of the literature. (a) The Literature Option is available for majors in French (b) The Civilization Option is available for majors in French. Civilization studies are concerned with the culture of the language or literature of a student’s focus, and with the people of the country where that language or literature exists or existed. Specific requirements for the various civilization options are listed under French. Language The Language Major allows a student to specialize in two or three foreign languages through a knowledge not only of the languages themselves but also of the bases of language (linguistics), examples of their creative use (literature), and the cultures which they reflect (civilization). Linguistics A B.A. in Linguistics is available through a program administered by an interdepartmental committee. Some foreign language study is essential for specialization in this discipline, as well as the pursuit of research projects and other kinds of practical work in linguistic-related areas. Other Course Work The department also offers course work in Asian literature, Chinese (language, literature, and culture), Civilization, Italian (language and literature), Japanese (language, literature, and culture), Korean (language), Tagalog (language), Vietnamese (language, literature, and culture), and World Literature. Graduate Degrees Comparative Literature (interliterary) M.A. Comparative Literature (interliterary or interdisciplinary) Ph.D. UC Tri-Campus Graduate Program in Classics M.A. and Ph.D. Teaching Assistantships and Fellowships Teaching assistantships and fellowships are available. Teaching assistants are normally held for CPLT 301 (Teaching of Foreign Language at the College Level). Course work and/or teaching experience at another college-level institution may be accepted in fulfillment of this requirement. Teaching Credential Preparation Programs Details and counseling on the Bridge to Teaching Program, a program for the multiple subjects teaching credential, are available in the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs, 2417 Humanities and Social Sciences, (951) 827-2742. Details and counseling on other programs are available in the Graduate School of Education. Education Abroad Program The EAP is an excellent opportunity to become deeply familiar with another country and its culture while earning academic units towards graduation. Students should plan study abroad well in advance to ensure that the courses taken fit with their overall program at UCR. Consult the departmental student affairs officer for assistance.

Major The Asian Literatures and Cultures Major offers a diverse and flexible program for students interested in the study of Asian languages, cultures, and literatures. While language proficiency and some courses in literature or culture are required, students have considerable freedom within the major to make course selections based on their own areas of interest. Students may either study a national literature in depth in the original language or focus more broadly on culture, history, and literature using texts in English translation. They may also choose between concentrating on one national literature and cultural tradition or including other Asian literatures and cultures. The major is flexibly interdisciplinary, giving students the opportunity to combine courses from different UCR departments (e.g., Art History, History, Religious Studies) as appropriate for their field of study.

The objective of the B.A. in Classical Studies is the furthering of knowledge of classical civilization through two emphases: the study of Greek and/or Latin language(s) and literature(s) and the study of courses in English translation on topics including classical literature, history, politics, religion, mythology, and art in order to aid students’ appreciation of the Greek and Roman contributions to later Western civilization. The student who majors in Classical Studies acquires a balanced yet focused view of the language, literature, thought, and civilization of Greece and Rome. The student also obtains the valuable skills of a better vocabulary, a sharper critical sense, logical analysis of texts, coherent argumentation, and a valuable perspective on our own society. Classical Studies majors receive a liberal arts education of traditional excellence and one widely esteemed by business and professional schools. A student may also pursue graduate training in Classics, Art History, History, Philosophy, or other related disciplines. Major Language Proficiency All students in Classical Studies must complete either LATN 001, LATN 002, LATN 003, and LATN 004 (or equivalents) or GRK 001, GRK 002, and GRK 003 (or equivalents).

Minor The Classical Studies minor offers students a fundamental understanding of classical language and culture which form the basis of much of western civilization. The minor naturally complements liberal arts degrees in many areas, including History, Art History, Philosophy, English, and Religious Studies. Students profit from the skills associated with a degree in the classics, such as enhancement of analytical and critical abilities, communication skills, and verbal proficiency. 1.

Teaching of Foreign Language at the College Level (4) Description under Comparative Literature. The UC Tri-Campus Graduate Program in Classics web2.hnet.uci.edu/classics/Tricampus (UC Irvine, UC Riverside, UC San Diego) The UC Tri-Campus Graduate Program in Classics is a joint venture that combines faculty in Classics and related disciplines from the three southernmost UC campuses. Students accepted into the program may enroll at any of the three campuses, but they normally apply for admission to the Tri-Campus program through UC Irvine, which is the main location for instruction and administration. Applications to the Tri-Campus program are reviewed by an admissions committee composed of faculty members from all three campuses. The goal of the program is to provide a graduate education that unites the main currents of modern literary, cultural, and social-scientific theory with the traditional skills and methodologies of classical philology. Candidates for degrees must exhibit facility in Greek and Latin, competence in research, including theoretical approaches to texts and objects, technical mastery of computing for research and teaching, and experience in teaching. These goals are realized through the four core courses (CLA 200A, CLA 200B, CLA 200C, and CLA 201), seminars (UC Riverside CLA 250/UC Irvine CLASSIC 220) and reading courses (UC Riverside CLA 292/UC Irvine CLASSIC 205). All students are admitted into the Ph.D. program. With the exception of those granted advanced standing because they hold the M.A. degree in Classics from another institution, entering students are concurrently enrolled in the M.A. program. Master’s Degree Students are admitted into the Ph.D. program only. Entering students who do not already hold a master's degree in Classics from another institution will be required to complete M.A. requirements while pursuing the Ph.D. The requirements for the M.A. degree in Classics are two years (six quarters) of course work, passage of a special set of examinations, and completion of a master’s paper. The normal course load is three 200-level courses each quarter. Minimum course requirements are four quarters of CLA 200A, CLA 200B, CLA 200C, and CLA 201; four quarters of UC Riverside CLA 292/UC Irvine CLASSIC 205; and four quarters of UC Riverside CLA 250/UC Irvine CLASSIC 220. (UC Riverside CLA 290/UC Irvine CLASSIC 280 may be substituted for these courses at the discretion of the faculty.) Requires a reading knowledge of either Germanic Studies, French, Italian, or equivalent language, demonstrated by examination or other means. Normative Time to Degree Two years Doctoral Degree The requirements for the Ph.D. degree in Classics are three years (nine quarters) of course work. Minimum course requirements are four quarters of CLA 200A, CLA 200B, CLA 200C, and CLA 201; five quarters of UC Riverside CLA 292/UC Irvine CLASSIC 205; and six quarters of UC Riverside CLA 250/UC Irvine CLASSIC 220 or an equivalent course. (UC Riverside CLA 290/UC Irvine CLASSIC 280 may be substituted for these courses at the discretion of the Program faculty.) Students are encouraged to take courses and seminars in relevant areas outside the program at any of the three campuses. Students must demonstrate reading proficiency in a second modern language by the end of the third year. By the end of the third year and during the fourth year of study, students must have read extensively in the primary texts and in literary history and theory and in ancient history. To qualify as a candidate and enter the dissertation stage, a student must pass an individually designed set of qualifying examinations, including translation examinations in Greek and Latin, written examinations or lengthy papers in special authors and field, and an oral examination.
