- Indiana University-French & Italian
We offer undergraduate degrees in French and Italian, minors in both languages, and a certificate in Global French. Graduate students can pursue an M.A. or Ph.D. in French/Francophone Studies, French Linguistics, or Italian Studies. We also offer an M.A. program for French Instruction. Our course topics range from medieval manuscripts to contemporary films, food and fashion to the business world, and French dialectology to francophone media studies.
Our department thrives on both its unity and diversity. We are comprised of three primary research areas:
- French/Francophone Studies
- French Linguistics
- Italian Studies
These broad areas of scholarly expertise make our department one of the most diverse and strongest in the country and allow us to fulfill our core mission, as part of a Research I public institution grounded in the liberal arts. We conduct cutting-edge research, providing rigorous training and generous mentoring to graduate students, teach the French and Italian languages, as well as the riches of French/francophone and Italian cultures to our undergraduate students, and participate in the pedagogical mission and curricular initiatives of the College of Arts and Sciences and the university as a whole.
