Welcome!
The program in French and Francophone Studies is designed to teach students to express themselves clearly and effectively in written and oral French, as well as to acquaint them with the historical depth and geographical breadth of literary and cultural expression in French. Our courses range from the first semesters of language study to advanced consideration of French and Francophone literature and culture across the centuries and throughout the world.
