French & Francophone Cultural Studies majors at Tufts study a combination of language, literature, culture, and related courses. French students are not only interested in literature but are intrigued in a broad variety of courses such as history, art history, music, politics, international relations-related courses, food systems, sustainability, all kinds of different topics.

In addition to the same three requirements as French Literary Studies majors, students who go down the cultural studies must take seven courses in advanced language, culture and/or literature, such as a class on the effects of migration on contemporary France or a new course on colonization and decolonization in the French-speaking Caribbean.

Sample Classes:

• Elementary French
• Studies in French Culture
• French for International Relations
• Composition and Conversation
• Versailles and the Age of Louis XIV
