The faculty currently comprises ten professors whose specialties range from medieval literature and culture to twentieth-century literature and intellectual history. Approximately fifty graduate students are currently studying French at Columbia, completing rigorous and comprehensive training in literary and cultural history and theory before specializing in one area of research.
Our student body is remarkably international: in addition to the U.S. and Canada, recent students have come from Belgium, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Romania, Sri Lanka, Sweden and Switzerland. Students in the department have the special benefit of the Maison Franaise of Columbia University. The Maison Franaise is the oldest French cultural center established on an American university campus. With its library and cuisine, it is the social center of the department. Its rich program of lectures, conferences, movie showings, and informal discussions makes the Maison a meeting place for students, scholars, business leaders, policy-makers and all persons seeking a better understanding of the French-speaking world.
