Literature

The Literature Concentration offers a secondary field for students who are interested in the study of literature, literary and cultural theory, and other forms of representation in more than one culture or language.

REQUIREMENTS
6 half-courses

1. One sophomore tutorial
2. Two courses in a literature other than English with readings of primary texts in that language.
   Note: Since only one half-course in concentration may double-count for the secondary field, students concentrating in a foreign language and literature program may substitute one of the above courses with either:
1. a course in the same language that is taught in a different department and does not count for concentration;
2. a course in a different language that does not count for concentration; or
3. an additional course from offerings in the Literature concentration. (See 3, below.)
3. Three courses from offerings in the Literature Concentration. (See note above.)

OTHER INFORMATION

1. Pass/Fail: All courses must be letter graded and must be passed with a grade of B- or above.
2. Freshman Seminars: Freshman Seminars may not be counted towards the fulfillment of the above requirements.
3. Study Abroad/Summer School: Students may count courses taken while studying abroad as well as courses taken at the Harvard Summer School towards secondary field requirements.
4. Limited Enrollment Courses: Students pursuing a secondary field in Literature will receive preferential access to Literature courses with limited enrollment.

ADVISING RESOURCES AND EXPECTATIONS

All students interested in pursuing a secondary field in Literature should contact the Director of Studies, Dr. Sandra Naddaff (617-495-5650, snaddaff@fas.harvard.edu), as soon as possible to discuss their program of study. The Director of Studies will be responsible for advising these students, although the expectation will be that students working towards a secondary field in Literature will monitor their own progress towards fulfillment of the requirements.
