Comparative Literature is an excellent background for graduate work in any area of the humanities, law, library science, etc., and because of the training it involves, a Comparative Literature degree can lead to a career in, to name but a few, journalism, creative or non-fiction writing, editorial or publishing work, international public relations, translating or teaching, public speaking, the arts, or the communications, public media, and advertising industries.<\/p>\n
