The Department of French and Francophone Studies
Graduate Handbook

This Handbook is designed to assist the graduate students and faculty in the Department of French and Francophone Studies at The Pennsylvania State University. Its purpose is to clarify the policies and procedures regulating progression through the various degree programs in the Department; to provide information about departmental programs, courses, and faculty; and to establish the parameters of student responsibility.

It is important that all graduate students read this Handbook carefully. However, the reader must understand that the policies and procedures of the Graduate School supersede any of those outlined by the Department of French and Francophone Studies. For a complete explanation of the various Graduate School regulations, the reader is referred to the most current edition of The Pennsylvania State University Bulletin: Graduate Degree Programs. Although the information contained in the French and Francophone Studies Department Handbook has been formulated as far as possible according to the policies of the University, it does not serve as a substitute for requirements established by the Graduate School.
