The strength of our program lies in the diverse group of students from different countries who all share the same enthusiasm and dedication to research and teaching. Our students work closely with our 11 distinguished faculty whose research and scholarship, highly recognized by their peers at the national and international level, range from Medieval Studies, Theater and Opera to Postcolonial and 21st-century French and Francophone Literature, Cinema and Media. Classroom experience and extensive pedagogical training enhance and complete our graduate curriculum. 

Our students benefit from regular professionalization events such as the Student-Faculty Forum series and career workshops organized by the Graduate Student Organization.

Indiana University offers several internationally-ranked resources such as the Herman B. Wells Library, the Lilly Library for Rare Books and Manuscripts, and the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction.

Our campus has been designated as one of the five most beautiful campuses in the U.S., and Bloomington is a truly cosmopolitan city, renowned for its world-class musical and artistic events while retaining all the charm and quality of life of a college town. We look forward to welcoming you here!

Sincerely,
Associate Professor Alison Calhoun
Director of Graduate Studies in French/Francophone Studies
