PRÉSENTATION
Our graduate program offers a lively intellectual environment where students explore French and Francophone literatures and cultures across a broad chronological and topical range and through a wide variety of critical approaches. Our goal is to train scholars and teachers who have a solid grounding in all periods of French and Francophone literatures and who think, write, and teach creatively. Students work closely with faculty who provide individualized attention; from the moment of entry into the program they are paired with a faculty mentor who provides support and advice on an informal basis, assists students in preparing conference papers and articles for publication and gives careful guidance during the job search. Our program has a strong record of job placement, with graduates holding positions at prestigious universities such as Princeton, Oxford, and Notre Dame.
