AboutBoston University's Department of Romance Studies offers an unusually rich international environment for the study of Spanish, French, Italian and Linguistics. 
BU Students in Senegal An outstanding faculty prepares our students in language and literature for careers in global business and consulting, communications and journalism, diplomacy, education, public service, interpretation and translation, and the advanced study of literature and culture. Our Linguistics majors often pursue careers in information technology, psychology, communications, philosophy, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Students in premedical and pre-law programs find the major and minor in language and literature or Linguistics a satisfying way to broaden their programs of study. Some students pursue combined study of Linguistics and Spanish, French or Italian. Students in the School of Education may study bilingual or foreign language education. Our Department is located on busy Commonwealth Avenue, on the banks of the Charles, close to major cultural venues — music and dance, art galleries, film — and our students take advantage of cultural events in Boston and on nearby campuses, easily accessible by public transportation. 
A BU group in Madrid Through International Programs they study, and sometimes do internships, in our programs in Buenos Aires, Lima, Madrid, Quito, Paris, Grenoble, Dakar, and Padova. Every summer, our Writing in the Americas program in Buenos Aires brings students into contact with leading poets, novelists, critics, and translators from the U.S. and Latin America. A nationally renowned seminar on translation offered in our sister department, Modern Languages and Comparative Literature, brings a series of outstanding translators to campus each spring. Graduate students interested in textual scholarship may enroll in classes or attend events at BU's Editorial Institute, and those interested in film attend weekly screenings of contemporary Latin American and Spanish cinema, organized by the Asociación de Estudiantes Graduados de Español. A literary magazine — Confabulario and numerous readings throughout the year showcase the writing of our students and faculty. A major scholarly journal — Anales Galdosianos— is edited in our Department, and we are also involved in the production of Calíope (on Renaissance and Baroque poetry), with graduate students serving as editorial assistants. A recently established Graduate School Traveling Fellowship and opportunities in our study-abroad programs afford students the opportunity to conduct dissertation research abroad. |
