The French program equips students with comprehensive language skills for diverse communication contexts. It fosters deep appreciation of Francophone cultures, literary works, and global affairs while examining the ongoing impact of French speakers on human civilization, ecology, and commerce. Combining practical language instruction with specialized studies in literature, cultural studies, linguistics, localization, and translation, our curriculum develops multilingual, cross-cultural competencies. Beyond language proficiency and cultural understanding, students acquire essential capabilities in analytical reasoning, effective communication, and creative solution-finding.
Students must have completed official secondary school transcripts, diplomas, certificates and/or national test examination scores as appropriate for the educational systems in their country. In order to be considered for freshman admission students must have completed secondary school studies equivalent to that of United States high school graduation.
Official SAT I or ACT scores are required for entering freshmen with less than 24 semester hours of university level course work (equivalent to one year of full time study).
