Bachelor of Arts - French

While continuing to cherish and study France’s great literary and intellectual tradition that reaches back to the Middle Ages, this program has kept pace with the rapid developments in the discipline: an increased focus on the place of media and culture in the study of literature; an increasing stress on interdisciplinary approaches; the crucial role played by French-speaking cultures around the world; and last but not least, the necessary responses to the demands of the global economy.

The overall objective is to make studying French at UConn part of a total experience. Each student is made ready to meet the challenges of a globalized planet equipped with the perspective of a great literary and cultural tradition. Students study French and Francophone literatures and cultures intensively in a variety of sites including Paris, Martinique and Toulouse in Southern France.
