Career opportunities for comparative literature majors are abundant. Many majors go on to do graduate work in the discipline with a view to teaching in colleges and universities. Mediaeval, Renaissance, Baroque, and twentieth-century studies, for example, are continually recognized to be most tenable by comparativists.
Many graduates secure careers in publishing as editors, translators, and manuscript consultants.
Others undertake high school teaching and are in much demand as teachers of world literature and humanities. One of our graduates is a film producer.
