Immerse yourself in French language and culture.
Courses in this major cover language skills and offer knowledge about some of the major historical, social, literary and philosophical movements in the Francophone world.
You don't need to have any prior knowledge or to have studied French at high school.
Many graduates use their language competency to enhance their employability in fields such as business, education, tourism and politics.
The French major is designed for students who have no previous knowledge of French. If you have completed substantial French study, then the French Advanced major is for you.
