Recent French MA Research Projects and Professional Outcomes

In lieu of a traditional exam, we encourage MA candidates to complete holistic research projects that reflect their interests and professional goals. Some projects are public-facing, some are more traditional research papers. Here are some examples of recent MA projects.

  • An adaptation of existing first-year French language instruction materials to formats that can be digitally delivered.
  • A digital Omeka exhibit of 17th-century fashions, using the plates from the Mercure Galant.
  • A bilingual online technology glossary
  • A research paper on the poetics of biosensing
  • Two critical translations

Our MA graduates continue to PhD programs, professional Masters degrees, and to successful academic-adjacent or other careers. For example:

  • Middle and high school French teaching positions in public and private secondary schools
  • Full-time position in voice interaction design
  • Full-time position in video game translation
  • Masters in Teaching program
  • Doctoral programs in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching, Human-Centered Design and Engineering, and French
