French and Francophone Studies

专业详情

French and Francophone Studies introduces students to the full span of historical and cultural traditions from France and the French-speaking world. Languages courses – from introductory to advanced – promote linguistic fluency, building on the skills students have acquired in high school or at Penn. Upper-level seminars explore a range of topics pertaining to literature, history, visual arts, and/or the media, and they offer majors and minors the opportunity to engage in research on French and global Francophone cultures across periods into contemporary times.

The minimum total course units for graduation in this major is 32. Double majors may entail more course units.

At least half of all courses for the major must be taken in the Department at Penn. ALL courses must be taken in French, with the possible exception of Major-related courses.
