Program Description

This program provides an in-depth study of spoken and written French and prepares students to use the French language as a career skill.

More importantly, studying French provides skills that are marketable in any career: the ability to adapt and function well in unfamiliar situations, to communicate well with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, to analyze cultural differences in professional settings, and to think abstractly and critically.
