Introduction to the Department

The Department of French and Francophone Studies at Carleton represents a vibrant collection of faculty and students who share a passion for things francophone, from Paris to Timbuktu, from Renaissance literature to contemporary French slam. The department offers a varied curriculum that is designed for both majors and non-majors, extensive extracurricular opportunities on campus, and two academic programs abroad: an annual program in Paris and Morocco and an occasional program in Senegal, West Africa.
