The French major offers two areas of study: French language and literatures, French language and linguistics. As the student progresses within the major, the specialization of either literature or linguistics will begin through strategic elective course selections. Students will typically also choose to double major within a different discipline to build a holistic degree plan. Our curriculum spans the globe from Europe to North and South America and Africa to the Caribbean. The timeline of courses in Spanish, Italian and French stretches from the Middle Ages to present day through the exploration of literature, linguistics, film and cultural studies.
