French
Major | Minor | Three Year
Small class sizes and a faculty of nationally and internationally active scholars give you a remarkably personalized educational experience. French is a language spoken on five continents—one of the main languages of international business, sport, and diplomacy. There are also a wide range of study abroad opportunities not only in France, but also in Belgium, French Guiana, Madagascar, Morocco, Québec, Senegal, and Switzerland. In addition, there are a plethora of opportunities to complete internships in the United States and abroad, scholarships, and opportunities to present research both on- and off-campus.
Sample courses in this program include:
- TI 225-GR, Literary Responses to Two World Wars
- FR300, Oral and Written Communication
- FR315, French for Business
- FR316, Survey of French Civilization
- FR318, Intro to Francophone Cultures
- FR335, France: Middle Ages to 1700
