There is a minimum of 64 units required: 56 units of core coursework and 8 units of electives (chosen in consultation with the adviser). A minimum course load of 12 units per quarter is required. Individual study (297 or 299) courses will not normally be allowed to substitute for seminars except when seminars are unavailable. 297s are intended for students taking graduate literature courses in languages which do not offer graduate seminars (Arabic, Persian, Tamil, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian, for example). The adviser may recommend students take additional coursework, as appropriate, especially in the primary literature concentration.
