Why Study at the University of Kansas?

I came to the University of Kansas in 1989 because it had a first class library and because I was convinced that it was the best university between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains.

The Department of French & Italian is excellent. The number of teaching awards members of the department have received is impressive and the professorial publications first class. Every French field from Medieval through Twentieth Century and Francophone literature and culture are covered by outstanding professionals. Undergraduate students have a selection of foreign study programs available, and graduate students can round out their education with opportunities for supervised teaching and administration. The department’s graduate student journal, Chimères, offers additional experience in editing. All this plus opportunities abroad have been important in maintaining the department’s outstanding record at placing graduates in both graduate programs and professional positions.
