Course summary

This program seeks to cultivate students' understanding and awareness of the cultures of the francophone world through the study of language, literature, and other forms of expression (film, political discourse, art, music, etc.). In the best American liberal arts tradition, this program combine the study of a specific discipline (francophone language, literature, and culture) with the development of broader skills of critical analysis and verbal expression. By engaging with another language and culture, students gain a better understanding of themselves and the world in which they live and acquire practical skills that they can apply in a variety of professional contexts. Indeed, many of the students choose to combine the French major with a major or minor in politics, international relations, or business.
