Go to: Division of Literature and Languages  

Curriculum

Many departments in the Division of Literature and Languages offer courses in which the texts are read in translation. When courses are cross-listed under the sponsoring department, the texts in these courses are often read in the original language, usually in a separate conference; students with appropriate language skills should, for example, register for CHIN 325  rather than LITC 325 .
