About Romance Languages & Literatures

Welcome to the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Boston College! We are proud to offer an extensive program of language, literature and cultural study in French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, both here on our Chestnut Hill campus and in many countries overseas through our international partnerships.

We have designed this web site to be an all-inclusive introduction to and comprehensive source of information about the different facets of our department's numerous course offerings, programs, services, extracurricular activities, and personnel. Many links to other related sites – such as the BC Admissions Office and useful non-BC resources for language students – have also been included for your convenience.

This site is meant to save you the time and trouble of having to telephone or email us by providing ready answers to the most commonly-asked -- and some not-so-commonly asked -- questions regarding our department. However, if your questions remain unanswered after consulting the web pages here, please do not hesitate to call or write any one of us at the numbers and addresses given on this site. We would appreciate, furthermore, your suggestions as to how to make our web site even more complete and user-friendly.
