As a French language and literature major at Fordham, you’ll become a fluent speaker, reader, and lover of Francophone cultures. In the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, you’ll study French language, culture, and literature-the focus of our program-from medieval through postmodern times. We draw on a long Jesuit tradition of scholarship on and respect for the world's diverse languages and cultures-and virtually all of them are in New York City. From cultural events to people on the streets, New York City is your classroom for learning French. You’ll learn more than French language and literature here. You’ll also study philosophy, theology, economics, mathematics, ethics, science, and the performing arts through Fordham’s common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education. As a French language and literature major, you take 10 required courses and five upper-level electives. All literature courses are taught in French, and you will be required to speak in French in class discussions and oral presentations. You’ll graduate with advanced proficiency in speaking and writing in French-as well as an extensive literary and cultural preparation-that will open doors to many careers. Wherever French is spoken, there may be a role for you. Our graduates earn advanced degrees in graduate programs in: Foreign Languages and Literature Comparative Literature International Affairs They attend professional schools in: Law Journalism Social Work They work in as many fields as there are people speaking French, including: Finance Publishing Nonprofit
