CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT: Professor Miller
DIRECTOR OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES: Associate Professor Gerson
DIRECTOR OF FRENCH LANGUAGE PROGRAMS: Clinical Assistant Professor Moran

With a staff of internationally known scholars and teachers, the Department of French offers an unusually broad range of courses in French and Francophone studies, language, literature, and civilization. The program is strong and diversified, with emphasis on immersion of the student in foreign culture and language. Most courses are taught in French. La Maison Française brings French culture into focus with films, lectures, and concerts as well as library facilities and a periodicals reading room. Beyond the University community, the student of French can find a number of cultural activities that broaden understanding of the foreign perspective here in New York City. Students majoring or minoring in French are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester at the NYU Center in Paris, which offers courses with well-known professors from the French university system as well as distinguished NYU faculty members.
