| Our department fosters the study of the human experience as expressed in the languages, literatures and cultures of France, Italy, and ancient Greece and Rome. We enable students to become proficient in these languages and to think critically about their world. Our courses integrate current research in the fields of language acquisition and cultural and literary studies. We offer undergraduate majors in French and Classical Studies along with a program in Italia. Our graduate program in French allows students to pursue an MA degree and a Ph.D. In both graduate programs, students explore French and Francophone studies, learn contemporary critical methodology, and prepare for successful careers as teachers and scholars. The Department also offers courses in Romance Languages and Linguistics at the MA level. Many of our courses cross disciplinary boundaries to examine topics in philosophy, comparative literature, religion, political theory, and also cultural, gender and Diaspora studies. Our faculty also participates in programs in Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, Integrative Arts and Humanities, Women’s Studies, Caribbean Studies, and African Studies. We offer faculty-led study abroad programs in Florence and Tours, and a program in Senegal that gives students the opportunity to combine Francophone and African Studies. |
