Hi everyone! I'm interested in eventually getting a PhD in Comparative Literature, but I want to get a master's first to show that I can handle graduate level work and improve my ability to work with literature in languages outside of English. Does anyone know if there's any value to getting a terminal master's in Comparative Literature (before going on to the PhD) or if it's better to get a master's in one of the languages/literatures you're hoping to specialize in?

Hi everyone! Quick question. I am interested in researching Chinese literature eventually, but I'm not at that level yet. I want to get into an Asian Studies master's program so that I can improve my language level and take literature classes, Does anyone know how many years of Chinese I need to have in order to get into such a program?
