Students earning their Bachelor of Arts in World Literature gain advanced proficiency in at least one language other than English while cultivating cross-cultural literacy. An immersion in ancient and modern literature from a variety of regions broadens students' understanding of the human condition and the ideas and concepts that foster global connection.
The B.A. in World Literature is a collaboration between the university's College of Humanities and College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
