• The coursework we offer in French language, cultural studies, and literature aims above all to develop critical thinking. How do I recognize a valid research question How do I define a research project and create an appropriate scholarly apparatus (abstract, bibliography, sources, and citations) How do I know when my argument is properly sustained and convincing.
  •  To this end, students are exposed to authentic cultural materials, from poems, novels, and films to political speeches and scientific treatises. We refer to this distinctive approach, which leads for our majors to the composition of the senior thesis, as travailler en langue: working in and through the target language.
