They are specialization programs for boys and girls interested in culture, history, works and literary productions. The students of these courses of specialization in literature aspire to a career that will make them men and women experts in writings related to a science, art or discipline rather than literary critics, writers, authors of books and monographs on very specific topics. In some cases there are also career paths related to journalism declined in literature.
