The Department of French and Italian thrives through its dynamic graduate programs, attracting outstanding students annually in French, Italian, or combined studies. Ph.D. candidates receive comprehensive five-year funding packages that include summer support, covering tuition, health benefits, annual research travel allowances, and stipends through fellowships or teaching positions. Those entering with an M.A. degree may transfer up to 45 credits toward course requirements upon transcript review. The program delivers rigorous instruction in literary analysis, historical contexts, critical theories, and includes substantial teaching practice with foreign language pedagogy certification. The French curriculum enables advanced study across language, literature, cultural history, theoretical frameworks, cinema, and Francophone research. This approach defines French Studies as examining the rich tapestry of cultural, political, social, scientific, economic, and intellectual developments throughout French-speaking regions worldwide - from Europe to North America and the Caribbean.
