French and Francophone Studies
The Department of French and Francophone Studies is recognized as one of the top undergraduate French programs in the country.
Mission Statement
We wish to empower our students to:
- Speak, read, and write in French with near-native proficiency.
- Engage the French and Francophone world and achieve cultural literacy.
- Become aware of cultural and linguistic diversity as global citizens who may someday work in the Francophone world.
- Communicate, with logic and empathy, among different perspectives and values especially in cross-cultural contexts.
- Think critically about texts, films, music, and fine arts as objects of inquiry.
- Analyze French and Francophone literatures as sources of human experience.
- Prepare for and pursue graduate studies, if they wish, in a variety of fields.
