The history of the department of world literature and comparative literary criticism of the faculty of philology of the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian national university as a peer of this higher educational institution is connected with the general evolutionary stages of its formation, that is, with the period of the Stanislav state teachers’ institute (1940–1950), the era of the Ivano-Frankivsk State pedagogical institute (August 1950, in January 1971 named after V. S. Stefanyk – 1992) and the era of the Precarpathian university (1992, from 2004 — Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian national university).
However, the history of the department has a more local format, closer to the diversity of life and individual human destinies. In this format, the internal periodization of the history of the department appears as a sequential change of chronological stages, designated by the names of specific people, namely:
1) the times of I. M. Zuy and S. I. Yarzhemskyi (1940–1950);
2) the period of O. T. Lysenko, S. I. Kovalchuk, O. F. Tretenko, and M. O. Voitko (1950–1970);
3) the era of M.V. Teplinskyi (1970–1992);
4) the era of V. G. Matviishin (1992–2012);
5) the current period (since September 2012).
