The French program offers a broad spectrum of courses, ranging from language instruction to studies of civiliza-tion, culture, literature, and the arts. Language courses focus on all four skills—reading and listening compre-hension, writing, and speaking. Non-language courses provide training in critical thinking while exploring cul-tural and literary themes in a historical context. The purpose of this major is twofold: to develop proficiency in written and spoken communication as well as to fos-ter an understanding and appreciation of cultural diver-sity. The skills acquired will prepare students to pursue careers in education, journalism, business, linguistics, art, music, and international relations.
