專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么?
The major in French and Francophone studies introduces students to world cultures and history and prepares them for our interconnected, global future. The program cultivates students’ cultural sophistication and their skills in language, communication, analysis, and argument.
The major combines advanced language study with courses in three areas of concentration: linguistics, literature, and film. After placement exams, students begin their language study freshmen year while also taking Gateways to French and Francophone studies course, taught in English, which introduces them to Francophone cultures from across the world and to the way we study them.
Students go on to study advanced French grammar, communication, and composition, and they can take language electives in phonetics, advanced oral communication, advanced writing (journalistic and literary prose), and the language and culture of business in France. They continue to hone their language skills in elective courses in linguistics, literature, and culture, most of which are taught entirely in French. Courses in linguistics cover sociolinguistics, the history of the French language, the structure and sounds of the language, and Old (medieval) French. They cover all periods, including the middle Ages, Renaissance, Classical Period, Enlightenment, Modernity, and Post modernity. A number of courses focus on Francophone material from Africa, the Caribbean, and Quebec. Courses in cinema, from its first moments to the present, are also offered.
We encourage students to study abroad on one of the programs offered through the Learning Abroad Center. We accept appropriate coursework from the Montpellier Integrated or Intensive Language programs, the Montpellier Advanced Summer program, the Paris CIEE program, the Senegal MSID program, and the National Student Exchange to a university in Quebec. However, students must consult with an advisor in the Department before committing to one of these programs.
Many students combine a French studies major with another CLA major in the arts, humanities, social sciences, or sciences. Students have also successfully combined a BA in French with degrees in other colleges, including the Carlson School of Management, the College of Design, the College of Education and Human Development, the College of Biological Sciences, the College of Science and Engineering, and the College of Food, and Agriculture, and Natural Resource Sciences. These students choose French as a second major, rather than a minor, because it allows them to reach a higher level of language proficiency while achieving a depth of cultural understanding that is not possible in the shorter program.
