Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in French learn about linguistics, literature, culture, history, business and society in French-speaking communities in Europe, the Americas, Africa and beyond. The courses not only prepare students to express themselves in spoken and written French in culturally appropriate ways, but also help to develop analytical and critical thinking skills and expand their knowledge of the Francophone world. The program's graduates have gone on to successful careers in a variety of fields, including business, federal and state government, health care, K-12 and post-secondary education, social work, and translation and interpretation, among others. Students have access to all of the professions open to a person with a Bachelor of Arts in the humanities, but with the added benefit of being able to accomplish those same jobs both in English and French. Students receive personalized attention from dedicated faculty advisers to determine their best paths.
