NYU GSAS’s MA in French Studies examines France and the French‑speaking world through multiple disciplinary lenses—history, sociology, political science, anthropology, and cultural analysis—taught in French and English. Topics include empire and post‑coloniality, welfare and discrimination, memory, gender and race, religion and secularism. Graduates pursue careers in the Foreign Service, journalism, humanitarian work, immigration law, education, translation, and international business; some continue into PhD programs in history, anthropology, French, linguistics, or politics.
