The
Department of Romance Languages and Literatures
offers students at Chapel Hill the opportunity
to study a variety of languages and the
cultural achievements of the people who
speak them. In our BA program, students
acquire basic and advanced skills by studying
language, literature, and culture. At the
MA and PhD levels, we combine advanced
course work in literature and culture with
carefully supervised pre-professional training,
such as classroom teaching and experience
abroad, in order to prepare professionals
who can transmit and advance linguistic,
literary and cultural knowledge.The faculty
of the Department are equally dedicated
to the undergraduate and graduate components
of the program, and each member regularly
teaches courses at both levels. The faculty's
commitment to research is intimately connected
with and nourished by its work in the classroom,
thus affirming the ideals set forth in
the University's recent Mission statement,
which identifies the faculty as a body "whose
teaching is transformed by discovery." |
