What it isThis program lets you study the French language, literature, and culture in depth, including how French works across different regions and contexts. You'll also learn translation skills, which sets it apart from a basic language course — you're not just learning to speak French, but understanding how meaning moves between languages and cultures. It suits students who love reading, writing, and the nuances of how language shapes thought.You study one modern language in depth — French, Spanish and Latin American culture, or Italian — alongside English literature and related humanities. Each stream lets you focus on the language itself, its literature, and the history and culture of regions where it's spoken. This suits you if you want genuine fluency in a second language combined with understanding of its cultural context, rather than a broad survey of multiple languages.You study a combination of philosophy, modern languages, and translation, rather than specializing in just one field. This interdisciplinary approach lets you explore how these subjects connect and inform each other, building flexibility in how you think about language and meaning. It suits students who are curious across multiple areas and want breadth alongside depth before deciding on a specific direction.This program lets you design your own path across multiple disciplines rather than committing to a single major. You combine courses from areas like modern languages and translation studies with broader arts subjects, building a degree tailored to your interests. It suits students who want flexibility to explore different fields and aren't sure which single subject they want to study in depth, and it's delivered entirely online.
