Administrative history
The Department of Comparative Literature in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta was established in 1969 under the directorship of Dr. Milan Dimic. Courses in comparative literature had been offered at the U of A since 1923, however, a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature was not offered until the 1970-71 school year. This BA was designed to give students a basic knowledge of international literary studies, as well as a working knowledge of at least one other language than their native English or French. Graduate programs in Comparative Literature were also available, and before the formation of the Department of Comparative Literature, a Masters or PhD in Comparative Literature was administered by an interdepartmental committee.
In the 1990s, the department underwent a number of mergers, changing to become the Department of Comparative Literature and Film Studies, and then absorbing another department to become the Department of Comparative Literature, Film and Media Studies, and Religious Studies. These three subjects were grouped together because they all shared interests in global literature and media.
