Students majoring in French and Francophone Studies take classes in language, literary and visual arts, and culture, including history, philosophy, and science—all conducted in French. Classes are small, allowing for individual attention and close collaboration with your peers and professors. Extend your classroom experience by joining the French Club, dining with your classmates at the French table, and studying abroad, a requirement for all French and Francophone Studies majors.
The minor in Italian Studies develops students’ language skills and introduces them to life and culture in Italy. Courses cover topics from the Middle Ages and Renaissance to the modern and contemporary Italian state. Enhance your language skills through study abroad, expand your culinary experience with advanced courses on Italian cuisine, and participate in department-sponsored events including film screenings, discussions, and off-campus excursions.
