Comparative Literature at New York University is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to study literature as an intercultural discipline embedded in wider sociocultural environments and in broader philosophical issues. The department offers students an opportunity to study literature extra-nationally, cross-culturally, and historically through movements, periods, genres, and interrelations, as well as through criticism and theory. . The Department of Comparative Literature at NYU does not offer admissions to the master’s degree program other than through our five-year accelerated B.A./M.A., which is only open to NYU undergraduate students. Students who are interested in Comparative Literature’s accelerated B.A./M.A. should carefully review the CAS Accelerate Bachelor's-Master's Tracks website, as well as the Comparative Literature B.A./M.A. Track page. If you’re still interested and meet the requirements for eligibility as noted in the previous sources, make an appointment with the CAS Advising Center to discuss how you will meet the requirements. Following your CAS appointment, you must contact Comparative Literature’s Director of Graduate Studies to request a separate meeting to discuss your interest in the accelerated B.A./M.A. You should take a copy of your transcript from Albert to the DGS meeting. If the CAS Advising Center clears you for application eligibility and the Director of Graduate Studies agrees that you have things well underway toward satisfying the requirements specific to the Comparative Literature B.A./M.A., you can apply for the B.A./M.A. through the online application portal, and your application will be sent to the Comparative Literature admissions committee for final approval.
