CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT: Professor Hollier

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 a broad range of courses in French and Francophone studies, language, literature, and civilization. The program promotes oral and written fluency in French, imparts strong analytical and interpretative skills, and works toward an enhanced understanding of cross-cultural changes. 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 provides immersion in French culture and offers courses with professors from the French university system as well as distinguished NYU faculty members.
