Majors offered:            French Studies, Italian Studies, Spanish, Iberian Studies, Romance Studies  

Students interested in enrolling in French, Italian, or Spanish at the elementary or intermediate levels are urged to do so during their first and sophomore years. 

Department policy gives priority to first-year and sophomore students in our language classes (numbered 101-112) to allow students to study abroad and to meet the requirements of those programs requiring language study. Juniors and seniors who wish to take elementary and intermediate language courses should submit an online enrollment request and attend the first class. They may be accepted during the drop/add period if seats become available. Should a junior or senior enroll in the first course of an ampersand sequence (such as 101-102), he or she will have priority for the second course, just like first-year and sophomore students.

French Studies

The French studies major provides students with a command of the French language sufficient to live and work successfully in a French-speaking environment. It enables them to develop an in-depth knowledge of French-language literatures and critical approaches, and, through it, an awareness of French and Francophone modes of thought and expression. It also offers them the opportunity to develop simultaneously a broad knowledge of French and Francophone cultures through a flexible, interdisciplinary program combining course work in a number of fields that may serve as the basis for future work or further academic or professional studies. The major consists of a minimum of eight courses:

* Four FREN courses numbered 220-399.

FREN215 or the equivalent is the prerequisite for all FREN courses numbered 220 or higher.

Courses numbered 220-299 are introductory courses intended for students who have completed FREN215 or have taken an equivalent course elsewhere or have placed out of FREN215 through the placement test. In general, these courses are designed for students who have not yet studied abroad in a French-speaking country.

300-level courses are upper-level courses intended for students who have already completed two courses in French beyond FREN215 or who have studied abroad in a French-speaking country for at least a semester:

* Four other courses whose content is devoted substantially to the study of French or Francophone literature, history, culture, or society.

These courses may be in French or English and may include

  • courses from the French section's normal offering of 200- or 300-level courses.
  • courses listed as FRST (French Studies) or FIST (French, Italian, Spanish in Translation).
  • courses taken through approved study-abroad programs.
  • courses offered by other departments and programs on campus that treat French or Francophone culture, politics, or history. These courses must be approved by the student's major advisor.

Starting with the Class of 2010, a minimum grade of B- is required for courses taken on campus to count toward the FRST major or the RMST major where the student is combining French with one or two other Romance cultures.

All majors are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester studying abroad in a French-speaking country. In addition to Wesleyan's program in Paris (the Vassar-Wesleyan Program), Wesleyan-approved study abroad programs currently exist in Cameroon, France (Aix-en-Provence, Grenoble), Madagascar, and Senegal. Wesleyan also sends one exchange student a year to the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris. Students who have strong academic reasons for wishing to participate in other French-based programs may also petition the International Studies Committee for permission to do so. For information on the approved programs and the petition process, contact the Office of International Studies, 105 Fisk Hall (x 2550, gwinter@wesleyan.edu).

Italian Studies

The Italian studies major consists of nine courses above the level of basic language. The department has devised two tracks to provide guidelines for completing the major. Both require nine courses above ITAL112.

Track A consists of five courses conducted in Italian to be taken in the Italian Section of the Department of Romance Languages. Two of these five courses may be fulfilled by courses taken at the Vassar Wellesley Wesleyan Program in Bologna (ECCO). Additionally, students in Track A must take four related courses. These four courses may be taken in either English or Italian. Related courses could include, for example, FIST courses on Italian topics, courses in various disciplines throughout the University, or courses taken on Wesleyan’s study-abroad program in Bologna. Of the courses taken in Italian, students are encouraged to cover the following chronological areas: medieval, Renaissance, 19th and 20th centuries.

Track A is appropriate for students with an interest in literary and cultural studies and/or art history.

Track B consists of three courses in Italian to be taken in the Italian Section of the Department of Romance Languages plus an additional six related courses. One of these courses may be fulfilled by a course taken at the Vassar Wellesley Wesleyan Program in Bologna (ECCO). Of the remaining six related courses, for Track B a maximum of three may be taken in English. Courses taken in English may include FIST courses on Italian topics and courses in various disciplines throughout the University. As in Track A, related courses may include FIST courses on Italian topics, courses in various disciplines throughout the University, or courses taken on Wesleyan’s study abroad program in Bologna. Of the courses taken in Italian, students are encouraged to cover the following chronological areas: medieval, Renaissance, 19th and 20th centuries.

Track B is appropriate for students with an interest (or another major in) social sciences or natural sciences and mathematics.

Study Overseas

Wesleyan Program in Bologna

With Vassar and Wellesley colleges, Wesleyan sponsors the ECCO in Bologna program for all students regardless of their choice of major. Students are required to take a year of Italian language (through ITAL102 or its equivalent), but two years (through ITAL112) is highly recommended. The Fall semester begins in August with an orientation program in Lecce. (For students with fewer than three semesters of Italian, the Lecce program is mandatory.) The Lecce program is optional for students who have completed ITAL112 or a more advanced course, but the Italian program encourages participation. In September, the Program moves to Bologna, where it is housed for the remainder of the academic year. All students will take courses offered by the Program, and qualified students will have the opportunity to take courses at the Università di Bologna. Since course offerings at the Università vary from year to year, students work closely with the resident director to devise a program of study. 

There are other approved programs in Italy, but the Department strongly endorses and supports the ECCO program. Students interested in learning about these other programs should consult the list compiled by the Office of International Studies.

Concerning Courses Taken by Majors Overseas

  1. Whether they are abroad for one or two semesters, majors may count only two courses toward completion of the five-course requirement in the Italian Section of the Romance Languages and Literatures Department.

  2. In rare cases, one additional course, for a maximum of three, will be accepted on a petition-only basis. The program reserves the right to privilege the ECCO program; if the petitioner has studied at a center other than the Wesleyan program in Bologna, it is very possible that the petition will not be granted.

  3. There is no upper limit imposed on related course work, either at Wesleyan or abroad for either track of the major.

  4. It is expected that following study overseas, majors will take one course in the medium of Italian each semester after their return.

Concerning Honors in Italian and Course Requirements for the Major

Students meeting requirements for admission to the Honors program in romance languages and engaged in writing a thesis may petition to use either ITAL409 or ITAL410 as one of the nine required courses. This option is not available to students writing Essays.

Course Assistantships in Italian

Majors and other accomplished students returning from overseas may apply to serve as a course assistant for elementary Italian. Students may not receive academic credit for this exercise; rather, they will receive a stipend for their work. Students should express their interest to the faculty advisor in the spring for the following fall semester and in the early fall for consideration for the spring semester. Please note that students may serve as course assistant for only one course in the University per semester.

Spanish

The Spanish section seeks to teach such essential skills as textual analysis, critical thinking, and writing. To illuminate our reading of the texts and our understanding of Spanish-language cultures, we often draw on other fields within the humanities such as the visual and performing arts as well as the social sciences. These skills and kinds of knowledge are the basis of a liberal arts education and keys to success in graduate study and the professions. A skill developed uniquely in these majors is fluency in Spanish, the first language of a linguistic community that is one of the largest, most diverse, and complex in the world, with more than 400 million Spanish speakers worldwide and 40 million in the United States. Students in the Spanish section have the option of majoring in either Spanish (SPAN) or Iberian studies (IBST). Both majors require nine courses, at least five of which must be taken in the Wesleyan Spanish section at the SPAN221 level or higher. 

The two Spanish-section majors are organized as follows:

1.  Spanish (SPAN)

The Spanish major is designed to provide students with a broad knowledge of the Spanish-language literatures (and related arts, such as film) of Spain and Latin America. It also enables them to develop a command of Spanish sufficient to pursue further study or work in a Spanish-speaking country. All course work in the major is taken in Spanish. The major recognizes some related course work that contributes substantially to the students' interest in mastering the language and in exploring the inherently interdisciplinary range of reference that characterizes literary (and other artistic) works. Students qualify for the major with a grade of B- or better in SPAN221 or the equivalent. SPAN221 is not required but may be counted toward the major. Students will be expected to maintain at least a B- average in the major program. The major consists of a minimum of nine courses distributed as follows:

  1. At least four courses primarily on Latin American literature.

  2. At least three courses primarily on "peninsular" Spanish literature.

  3. At least one course on early modern literature (to 1700, normally SPAN230-249 or the equivalent), one on modern Spanish literature (from 1700, normally SPAN250-269 or the equivalent), and one on modern Latin American literature (from 1800, normally SPAN270-299 or the equivalent).  Students are also strongly encouraged to take a course on Cervantes (e.g., SPAN236 or the equivalent).

  4. At least five credits must be SPAN courses numbered 221 or above taken with the Wesleyan Spanish faculty, one during the senior year.

  5. Students are highly encouraged to study abroad and may receive up to four credits toward the major for literature courses taken in Spanish on approved programs in Spain, Latin America, and other Spanish-speaking countries.

  6. Although language courses taken on study abroad programs receive University credit, they do not count toward the major. However, a course taken in Spanish on the history of the Spanish language or Spanish linguistics can be counted toward the major.

  7. With their advisors' approval, students may apply literature courses taken in Spanish on Hispanophone writers from countries outside of Iberia or Latin America, such as Equatorial Guinea, Morocco, the Philippines, the United States, etc.

  8. To encourage students to explore the kinds of interdisciplinary connections to literary texts promoted in different ways within our courses, students may apply one course taken in Spanish in a field other than literature with their advisors' approval. 

  9. Students may―-with the major advisors' approval―-apply a second course taught in Spanish in a field other than literature as long as it bears primarily on Spain. This additional condition is meant to avoid overlap with the Latin American studies major. Students who declared the major in or before the spring of 2006 may count two courses on Latin America in a field other than literature.

  10. Tutorials (for theses, essays, and independent projects) do not count toward the major but may be taken in addition to the nine courses.

  11. All courses applied toward the Spanish major must be taken for a letter grade (i.e., not credit/unsatisfactory)

2.  Iberian Studies (IBST)

The Iberian Studies major offers Wesleyan students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the literature and culture of the Iberian peninsula through a flexible, interdisciplinary program of study. Students qualify for the major with a grade of B- or better in SPAN221 or the equivalent. SPAN221 is not required but may be counted toward the major. Students will be expected to maintain at least a B- average in the major program. The major consists of a minimum of nine courses distributed as follows:

  1. A minimum of five (and up to nine) SPAN courses primarily devoted to Spain must be taken from the Wesleyan Spanish faculty (normally, SPAN223 and 230-269), at least one of them in the senior year. These courses should include at least one course in early modern literature (to 1700, normally SPAN230-249 or the equivalent) and one in modern Spanish literature (from 1700, normally SPAN223 and 250-269 or the equivalent). Students are also strongly encouraged to take a course on Cervantes (e.g., SPAN236). SPAN221 may be counted toward this major.

  2. Up to four other courses whose content is devoted substantially to the study of Iberian literature, history, art history, culture, or society. Courses for the major may be taken here on campus (for instance, from the Spanish section's normal curricular offerings), on approved study-abroad programs in the Iberian peninsula (including programs in the Basque Country, Catalonia, Galicia, and Portugal), on approved study-abroad programs in Latin America, or on approved study-abroad programs elsewhere if the courses bear substantially on Iberia. They may include FIST (French, Italian, Spanish in Translation) courses, courses cross-listed with IBST (Iberian studies), or other on-campus courses that are focused substantially on Iberian literature, history, art history, culture, or society.

    These courses may be taken in any of the languages of the Iberian peninsula or in English. We expect that students will mainly take their courses for the major in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, since they are languages of instruction at Wesleyan. In regularly offered Spanish-section courses, Basque, Catalan, and Galician authors and topics are addressed. We also encourage students with interests related specifically to the Basque Country, Catalonia, or Galicia to take courses on Basque, Catalan, and Galician language, literature, culture, and society here or on approved study-abroad programs. We recognize these languages and cultures not only owing to their intrinsic interest (and renewed political and cultural vitality), but also because of their fundamental contribution to the development of Spanish-language literatures and cultures on the peninsula and elsewhere. It should be remembered, however, that―as is true for Spanish (i.e.,Castillian) in the Spanish major―university credit will be granted for approved-program language work in any of the peninsular languages, but major credit will only be granted for courses pitched at the fifth-semester level or higher (the equivalent of SPAN221). Students interested in the co-official languages of Spain other than Spanish (i.e.,Castillian) will normally need to study them by direct enrollment in universities through approved Spanish-language programs in Spain.

  3. Students are highly encouraged to study abroad and may receive up to four credits toward the major for courses on Iberian literature, history, art history, culture, or society taken on approved programs.

  4. Although language courses taken on study-abroad programs receive University credit, they do not count toward the major. However, a history or linguistics course taken on any one (or more) of the Iberian languages can be counted toward the major.

  5. In recognition of Latin America's crucial (historical and on-going) role in the shaping of modern Spain and Portugal, one course on Latin America may be applied to the major, especially if it bears in some direct way on Iberia (e.g., courses on the colonial period, modern immigration in either direction, and other forms of social, economic, or cultural exchange between Latin America and Iberia): for example, courses from SPAN's Latin American offerings (normally, SPAN226 and 270-299) and the Latin American Studies Program's (LAST) regular curriculum.

  6. To encourage students to explore the deep historical and intense on-going relations among Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries and other former Iberian colonies in Europe, Africa, and Asia, majors may apply one course on Hispanophone Africa (Equatorial Guinea, Morocco, or the Western Sahara), Lusophone Africa (Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, or Sao Tome e Principe), other former Spanish colonies (such as the Philippines), or other former Portuguese colonies (such as Goa, Macao, and Timor) if the course is approved by the students' major advisor.

  7. One course offered by other departments and programs on campus that does not bear primarily on Iberian culture, society, or history but that clearly pertains to the student's specific (disciplinary, period, or thematic) interests in Iberia may be applied if approved by the student's major advisor.

  8. Tutorials (for theses, essays, and independent projects) do not count toward the major but may be taken in addition to the nine courses.

  9. All courses applied toward the Iberian studies major must be taken for a letter grade (i.e., not credit/unsatisfactory).

Students in both Spanish-section majors are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester studying abroad. As a rule, study-abroad programs require students to take a language course selected according to the program's evaluation of the student's proficiency. Students receive University credit for such courses, but they do not count toward the Spanish or Iberian studies majors. Students studying abroad are also expected to take at least one course through direct enrollment. Majors should consult in advance with their Spanish-section advisors and advisors in other majors (if pertinent) about the courses they will take while studying abroad, especially if they have any doubts about which courses will count toward their major(s). For more information on study abroad and the Spanish-section majors, see the study abroad links for Spanish and Iberian Studies on the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures web site. Wesleyan runs programs in Madrid, Spain (the Vassar-Wesleyan Program). For more information on study-abroad programs run or approved by Wesleyan, consult the Office of International Studies (OIS) web site at www.wesleyan.edu/ois or visit the OIS at Fisk Hall 105. You may also call the OIS at 860-685-2550 or write gwinter@wesleyan.edu. A detailed web site on the Vassar-Wesleyan Madrid program can be found at www.wesleyan.edu/madrid.

Romance Studies Major

The Romance studies major provides students the opportunity to develop a broad knowledge of two or more of the Romance cultures taught at Wesleyan (French, Italian, Spanish/Spanish American) through a flexible, interdisciplinary program combining course work in a number of fields that may serve as the basis for future work or further academic or professional studies. Students who are interested in this major should contact the chair of the department.

The major consists of a minimum of 12 courses, six in each of two Romance cultures (option A), or four in each of three cultures (option B), as defined below. Students writing an honors essay or thesis may substitute one semester of their honors essay or thesis tutorial for one of these 12 courses.

All majors are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester studying abroad in a Romance-language-speaking country. In addition to Wesleyan's own programs in Bologna, Madrid, and Paris, there are currently Wesleyan-approved study abroad programs in Argentina, Brazil, Cameroon, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France (internships in Francophone Europe in Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Grenoble), Italy (Florence, Padua, Rome), Madagascar, Mexico and Senegal. Wesleyan also sends one exchange student a year to the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris. Students who have strong academic reasons for wishing to participate in other programs may also petition the International Studies Committee for permission to do so. For information on the approved programs and the petition process, contact the Office of International Studies, 105 Fisk Hall (x 2550, gwinter@wesleyan.edu).

Majors with a minimum grade point average of 92 in courses taken for the major may choose to complete a one- or two-semester project for departmental honors. Students who are interested in this opportunity should read the description of the Departmental Honors Program (<http://www.wesleyan.edu/romance/rllhonors.html>).
