主要课程的组织可能是历史性的，围绕一种体裁（例如诗歌，戏剧或散文小说），或者是围绕一个时期的概念或运动（例如启蒙运动，巴洛克式，古典主义和浪漫主义或存在主义）进行的。学习另一种语言的想法远不止是针对同一事物学习不同的单词，对一种新语言的研究还涉及学习对事物的不同思考方式。达特茅斯法语和意大利语系是美国相对于本科生而言最大的外国文学系之一，它提供从初学者到文学概论再到单主题高级研讨班等广泛的课程。学生可以通过本系选修专业或辅修专业。每年在法文和意大利总共进行十个为期一个学期的学习计划，学生们一直引用这些计划
Dartmouth is nationally recognized as an outstanding college at which to study language and literature. The Department of French and Italian has traditionally taken a lead in efforts to initiate students to other cultures. We are one of the largest foreign literature departments relative to undergraduate population in the United States. We offer a wide array of courses, from beginning language to surveys of literature to single-topic advanced seminars. Students may elect either a major or a minor through the department. The French and Italian Department offers approximately eight term-long study programs located throughout France and Italy every year. Students consistently cite these programs, which are well-established and designed to coordinate with on-campus courses, as high points in their Dartmouth careers. Major programs may be organized historically, around a genre (like poetry, drama, or prose fiction), or around a period concept or movement (such as the Enlightenment, baroque, classicism and romanticism, or existentialism).
