Overview

French has a long and distinguished history at Johns Hopkins, having played a leading role in embracing and circulating critical approaches and methods.

Ground-breaking modern literary theory was born here in its dialogue with the interdisciplinary French structuralist and post-structuralist projects, which united under the banner of language such diverse intellectual endeavors as anthropology, history, philosophy, political theory, and the history of ideas.

Key Features

Studying French at Johns Hopkins University means not only acquiring the fundamentals of a language with more than 115 million native speakers worldwide, but also developing invaluable analytical skills and cultural awareness.

Graduates of the major and minor programs are equipped with tools that are increasingly in high professional demand, such as the ability to speak and write persuasively, to constructively discuss work produced by colleagues, to interpret complex texts, and to explain sources of intercultural misunderstanding.
