The Department of French and Italian is a strong presence in the Humanities that is committed to engaging students throughout their college careers (and beyond!). Some of the department's students choose to major in language and literature; many others connect their study of French with courses in government, economics, history or the arts.
The program has allowed thousands of students to hone their language skills while helping their peers and gaining pedagogical confidence. The elementary language sequence consists of professor-led classes enhanced by additional small-group practice sessions known as "drill." Click on the header for more information.
