The Dept. of French and Italian was established in 1956 when the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee was created. Prior to 1956 French courses were offered by the Wisconsin

before 1956. The department changed its name in 1996 from The
Department of French and Italian to The Department of
French, Italian, and Comparative Literature.
