Department of French

With 10 distinguished faculty members and a unique array of resources and opportunities, our undergraduate and graduate programs are among the most varied in the country, striving to present and study the languages, cultures, and literatures of France and the Francophone world in all their past and present diversity. In teaching and research alike, our quest for academic excellence is grounded in a spirit of interdisciplinarity: for us, studying French fundamentally means opening as many doors and windows as possible, so as to explore a host of other fields. On this site you will find, at all levels, striking illustrations of this core principle. Enjoy your visit!
