Bachelor of Arts

The B.A. major in French encourages students to develop fluency in the language as well as an appreciation of francophone literature and culture. The major can also help to prepare students for interdisciplinary professional careers in which a knowledge of a foreign language is useful. At present, the B.A. major in French is available either as a Language and Culture option or as a Language and Literature option.

For the B.A. degree in French, a minimum of 125 credits is required.

The Technical Writing and Translation option encourages students to develop the multilanguage skills in writing and speaking that are increasingly needed for communication in a global economy.

Courses in French culture and civilization are essential to all B.S. options, and students are encouraged to participate in the University's Education Abroad Programs in France.
