French - Syracuse University

French from Syracuse University is a Campus Master Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The MA curriculum in French and Francophone Studies at SU provides students with a solid background in French and Francophone literature and culture, literary analysis, and critical theory. Course offerings cover major authors, periods, and movements-from Renaissance poetry to the Enlightenment philosophes and Caribbean women writers-and expose students to diverse critical approaches. Courses are frequently interdisciplinary, combining the study of literature with philosophy, history, art, and film. The small size of our program (typically 6-8 graduate students) allows for close mentoring relationships with faculty. In addition, students accepted into the TA program receive extensive training and hands-on experience teaching lower-division French language courses (FRE 101-202). Students graduating with the MA in French and Francophone Studies at SU have gone on to pursue PhDs at institutions such as Brown University; Duke University; Emory University; McGill University; Princeton University; and Vanderbilt University. Others have become French teachers at private and public secondary schools throughout the United States. By providing in-depth knowledge of French and Francophone literature and culture and developing critical thinking skills, the MA in French and Francophone Studies provides excellent preparation for careers in a number of fields, including teaching; study abroad; translation and interpretation; international business; international relations; journalism; publishing; art; film; and fashion.
