Flexible Design and Global Experience
French majors read and think critically about the literatures and cultures of French and Francophone worlds while developing high-level communication skills in French. They learn about the diverse cultural values, ideologies, and philosophies of French-speaking cultures through the discussion and close analysis of stories, poems, films, and more.
Curriculum and Courses
Students typically start by taking our introductory or intermediate language classes and FRE 131 “Masterpieces of French Culture in Translation.” Our curriculum features an integrative approach to French and Francophone language and cultural studies with an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches and diverse critical perspectives directly related to faculty research expertise. We foster opportunities for independent research and discovery through our French Honors track, which allows excellent students to conduct an intensive and in-depth research project on current critical issues in the field and our combined BA/MA degree.
- FRE 131 Masterpieces of French Literature in Translation

At Miami, there’s something for everyone.
Dr. Hodges and Dr. Keefe were two of my French professors who not only taught life-changing courses, but helped solidify my French speaking skills and provided me with the challenges I craved.

Additional Opportunities
The Department of French and Italian encourages study abroad to improve French language skills and learn about culture, history, art, and literature in a fully immersive environment. We offer two faculty-led study abroad workshops that help students earn credit toward the major or the minor in Paris (winter term) and in Dijon (summer term) and can advise students on semester-long opportunities for study abroad in French-speaking cultures.
