French Studies
Explore the language, literatures, and cultures of the French-speaking world, from Canada to the Caribbean and Morocco to Madagascar.
French studies offers an exploration of the language, literatures, and cultures of the French-speaking world, which stretches from Canada to the Caribbean and from Morocco to Madagascar. Our goal is to help students learn about the literary traditions of the francophone world, encourage you to consider the relationship of literature to the world, and become active and critical readers and thinkers. In addition to our expertise in French literature from the Middle Ages to the 21st century, our faculty is deeply committed to excellent teaching and mentoring at all levels of our French language courses.
