Join the global conversation in a new tongue. Study historic texts and literary works in their original language. Explore opportunities that will allow you delve into the depths of francophone countries and cultures. Be prepared to excel in an increasingly globalized world. In our intimate class settings, you will do more than develop language proficiency. You'll also enrich your cultural competencies, engage your critical thinking, sharpen your oral and written communication skills, and expand your knowledge about different ways of thinking. The cross-cultural mindset you'll gain will carry you a long way - quite literally. Your French degree will lead to higher performance in all job markets, create opportunities for service or advanced studies around the globe, and open the door to an international career. French teaching majors have the opportunity to build language proficiency while also developing expertise in teaching language to others. With a contemporary approach to language instruction, our students learn how to give quality input in the target language (known as Comprehensible Input) and to design activities that require meaningful interaction. We believe teaching is a creative endeavor and we prepare our students for the language and practical demands of the profession.
