Programs

Students interested in acquiring proficiency in French can enroll in language courses from beginning to advanced levels. In addition, students may select from among the following programs: a major in language studies, a major in literature with an emphasis in French literature, or a major in global economics. An individual major in French and Francophone studies is also available to qualified students (see French faculty for details).

Lower-division courses 1-6 are taught entirely in French and prepare students for advanced study either on campus or abroad. They are designed to develop proficiency in aural comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
