For those considering study abroad as a Comp. Many Comparative Literature students study abroad. We actively encourge this experience.
International study can be enlightening and fulfilling, both personally and academically.
Although study abroad requires some planning ahead, we believe the benefits are well worth the effort for most students. Morever, you pay Berkeley fees and may continue to be eligible for all financial aid. The Department of Comparative Literature will expect you to make normal degree progress and will review your standing before approving a semester or year abroad. The courses taken abroad that we accept must be equivalent to those offered at Berkeley. The student is responsible for bringing back official transcripts, course descriptions, and reading lists that will aid Comparative Literature advisers in evaluating acceptable coursework.
