The Department:

The Department of French and Italian is in the College of Humanities.

The department offers language instruction at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels.  In addition, courses (taught in their respective languages) are offered in the literature and culture of France and of Italy and in business French and Italian.  Study abroad options include programs in Florence and Paris.

Undergraduate majors in French or Italian attain a knowledge of the language and the culture that can prepare them to teach at the secondary level, to undertake postgraduate studies in French or Italian or to pursue careers in international business or in the foreign service.  Departmental majors selecting the latter option may combine language study with a thematic business minor in the College of Management, concentrating in general business, management, or marketing.  This option provides a solid foundation of marketable skills for careers in international business and finance, communications and technology, government and administration.

Note: The undergraduate teaching minors listed above were disestablished, effective June 2009. Students interested in one of the disestablished minors are encouraged to select the non-teaching minor in the same discipline.
