Graduate Studies

While maintaining a steady focus on literary studies and its methods, graduate studies in French at the University of Minnesota reflects the broad cultural, interdisciplinary, and post-colonial transformations of the humanities.

Our program offers a vibrant graduate education in French and Francophone studies leading to a PhD degree. The program benefits from a skilled cross-disciplinary faculty representing a full spectrum of scholarship in both French and Francophone areas, from the medieval to the contemporary, and from literature to moving image media, both within the Department of French and Italian and in the larger University community.

We encourage independent intellectual inquiry supported by an active, intensely collaborative community of faculty and graduate student researchers. Apply here.
