Overview

Instruction and supervision are so arranged as to ensure that students acquire a broad understanding of the whole field of French studies as well as a specialized grasp of its sub-fields, and are well-prepared to develop independently as scholars.

The French and Italian program from Princeton University combines courses (or seminars) with independent study and research, and is punctuated by periodic examinations. It is hoped that students will proceed to the defense of the dissertation at the end of the fifth year.

Program Offerings

The first two years are primarily devoted to taking courses (normally, a total of 13, distributed as broadly as possible), satisfying language requirements, and preparing and taking the general examination.

At the end of the second year, students are expected to specialize. Normally, by the end of their fifth term of study, students should have taken a total of 15 courses or seminars. In their third year, students will continue to take a limited number of courses as they prepare their dissertation proposal.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Painting and Literature in Nineteenth-Century France and England
  • Literature and Philosophy
  • Contemporary Critical Theories
  • Medieval Literature
