The Teaching Option is intended for students wishing to teach French in the public-school system. Students may also choose to complete a professional second major in French. The focus of this degree is to provide students with linguistic and cultural skills necessary to work, collaborate or interact with French counterparts in a professional setting.<br><br>The French program also offers three minor degrees: the French Language Minor, the French for Design & Merchandising Minor, and the French Area & Culture Studies Minor.
