Course offerings of the Department of Romance Studies (ROMS) examine the languages, literatures, and cultures of countries and people who speak Spanish, French, and Italian with the aim of developing students' cultural and linguistic proficiency. Students will advance their knowledge of and respect for diverse traditions and become responsible and well-informed global citizens. Our faculty is particularly diverse and we pride ourselves in working closely with students. We contribute to numerous interdisciplinary programs, including Medieval and Renaissance Studies, History of Ideas, European Cultural Studies, Film and Visual Media Studies, Latin American and Latino Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, Religious Studies, Education Studies, International and Global Studies, Cultural Production, Theater Arts, and Comparative Literature.

For course offerings and requirements for the major, refer to the sections found elsewhere in this Bulletin for European Cultural Studies, French and Francophone Studies, Italian Studies, and Hispanic Studies.
