Undergraduate
Dartmouth is nationally recognized as an outstanding college at which to study language and literature. The Department of French and Italian Studies has traditionally taken a lead in efforts to initiate students to other cultures. We are one of the largest foreign literature departments relative to undergraduate population in the United States.
Beautiful day to hold French 3 outside.
Welcome!
We offer a wide array of courses, from beginning language to surveys of literature to single-topic advanced seminars. Students may elect either a major or a minor through the department. The Department of French and Italian Studies offers approximately five term-long study programs located throughout France and Italy every year. Students consistently cite these programs, which are well-established and designed to coordinate with on-campus courses, as high points in their Dartmouth careers.
