The program in French Studies offers a wide range of courses in literatures and cultures from France, Africa north and south of the Sahara, the Caribbean, and QuÃ©bec. It covers major chronological periods while simultaneously anchoring the study of French cultures in a broad spectrum of disciplines that include literary, film, art, and historical studies. The program also offers advanced French language instruction focusing on writing, translation, and literary analysis. An Honors track in French Studies provides seniors with the opportunity to develop individual research projects culminating in the Honors thesis. We strongly encourage students to spend time studying in a francophone country, and to that end the faculty and the Office of Academic Advising will help them select an appropriate program. For more information, please see the French Studies website External Link. Program Learning Outcomes for BA in French Studies Students graduating from this program will: 1.
