We know that choosing a graduate program is a difficult and consequential task. We thank you for considering the program in French and Francophone Studies at UC Davis. We believe that our program offers a number of very attractive features.
We are looking for students who would benefit from our flexible curriculum in pursuing a master's or doctoral degree in French and Francophone Studies. Because we are a relatively small department, we are able to offer individualized attention and a program of study tailored to suit the interests of each student. Our ideal environment for close mentoring of students is complemented by a breadth of possible areas of specialization open to students in French and Francophone Studies, thanks to our close affiliations with faculty in related programs.
