Language Sequence and Independent Studies
The department does not offer a major or minor in Dutch studies. However, we continue to offer a strong, four-semester language sequence. Over the years, we have been able to expand the program considerably. A survey of independent studies we have arranged to meet individual students' interests and needs shows the diversity of topics possible for Dutch and Flemish Studies: colonial texts, including the Low Countries' involvement in South East Asia, Africa's West Coast, South Africa, North America, South America and the Caribbean; painters' biographies in the 17th-century; 19th-century Dutch naturalistic novels; readings in Dutch East Indies' literature; the morphology of the Dutch language, music and religion in the Dutch Antilles.
