French and Italian (FREN/ITAL) Modern Languages Building, Room 549 (520) 621-7349 Professors Jonathan Beck, Frank M. Chambers (Emeritus), Monique Wittig Associate Professors Robert A. Ariew, Edward G. Brown, Ingeborg M. Kohn, Lisa Leibacher, Henri Servin, Gianni Spera, Ronnie H. Terpening Assistant Professors Brunella Bigi, Irene S. d'Almeida, S. Prosper Sanou Lecturers Gerard Agnieray, John L. Gesell, Jean Goetinck, Annamaria Kelly (Emerita) The Department of French and Italian offers language instruction at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels. In addition, courses (taught in their respective languages) are offered in the literature and culture of France and of Italy and in business French. Study abroad options include programs in Florence and in Paris. Undergraduate majors in French or Italian attain a command of the language and a knowledge of the culture that can prepare them to teach at the secondary level or to undertake postgraduate studies in French or Italian, or to pursue careers in international business or in the foreign service. Departmental majors selecting the latter option may combine language study with a thematic business minor in the College of Business and Public Administration, concentrating in general business, management, or marketing. This option provides a solid foundation of marketable skills for careers in international business and finance, communications and technology, government and administration. Degree Programs: Bachelor of Arts with a major in French (concentrations in French literature and culture, or in business French or in teaching); Bachelor of Arts with a major in Italian; Master of Arts with a major in French; and Doctor of Philosophy with a major in French. An option at the M.A. level is the program in Francophone studies, focusing on the cultural originality and vitality of French-speaking areas outside of France (Quebec, Belgium, the Maghreb, Black Africa, the Caribbean). Doctoral minors are offered in Italian, French and Francophone literatures, and interdisciplinary programs are available in conjunction with women's studies, the graduate interdisciplinary programs in comparative cultural and literary studies, and the program in second language acquisition and teaching. Writing-Emphasis Courses: Because writing in all upper-division courses is in the language of instruction (French or Italian), the requirement will be satisfied through completion of at least one 3-unit course designated as a Writing-Emphasis Course within the department (see "Writing-Emphasis Courses" in the Academic Policies and Graduation Requirements section of this catalog). Consult an undergraduate advisor. The department participates in the honors program and offers honors sections of selected courses. Inquire with the departmental honors advisor. French (FREN) Unless otherwise indicated, all courses are taught in French. For purposes of appropriate placement, enrollment in all language courses is subject to the consent of the instructor. Under certain circumstances, FREN 355 can be substituted for FREN 375a if a 375a-level supplement is taken at the final exam and if a grade of B or better is obtained. Literature major: 36 units past the 201 level, including 350, 375a-375b, the three 400-level survey courses, 401, 402, and 403, and two additional electives from the 400 level, one of which must be a course in literature or creative writing.
