Why should I study French?
French in Florida
The graduate
program in French of the Division of Languages and Linguistics at the University
of South Florida in Tampa offers prospective students solid academic and
practical training in the language, literature and culture of France and
the French-speaking world. The graduate with a Master's degree in French
from the University of South Florida will be prepared for a number of professional
possibilities including advanced academic study, business applications,
and enhanced classroom teaching.
In
addition to perfecting language skills, the student will take several courses
surveying the major periods and genres of French and Francophone literature,
from medieval romances to Enlightenment essays, nineteenth-century novels
to contemporary short stories from the international Francophone community.
In this regard, the program has particular strengths in the study of Quebec,
the Caribbean, and Africa. The student may also take courses exploring
the new areas of literary theory and philosophy pioneered by Roland
Barthes and Michel Foucault.
However,
the study of French need not be solely literary or theroetical; the recent
pivotal role played by France and Belgium in the development of the European
Union underscores the centuries-old international presence of French in
the spheres of business and politics. Accordingly, our
program affords students the opportunity to improve their knowledge of
commercial French, teaching French as a second language, and research methodologies.
Furthermore,
we believe that practical classroom experience is a vital pre-professional
qualification that is critical in today's job market, and so each of our
graduate students can expect to teach elementary French under the supervision
of a professional classroom instructor. Our students can also expect to
become proficient at using the research tools available at the University
of South Florida Tampa Campus Library which houses over 900,000 bound volumes,
4500 periodical titles, two million microforms, and extensive electronic
and on-line database research services.
