The University of Houston's French Program provides undergraduate studies culminating in a Bachelor of Arts degree, equipping students for advanced academic pursuits like master's or doctoral programs, teaching careers, or opportunities in business and government sectors. Every course in language, culture, and literature for the French B.A. is conducted entirely in French.
France boasts one of Europe's most profound historical legacies, cultural traditions, and literary contributions, with its artistic and philosophical ideas significantly shaping Western thought. For centuries, French served as the lingua franca of global diplomacy and remains widely used internationally today. It holds official status in over 20 nations and, alongside English, stands as one of only two languages spoken across all five continents. Throughout history, both France and the French language have exerted tremendous influence on American culture and society.
