What it isYou study French language, literature, and culture in depth, building fluency from wherever your current level is. This program focuses on French itself rather than combining it with another language the way some modern language programs do. It suits students who want genuine proficiency in French and are interested in how the language connects to francophone cultures and texts.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 French language, literature, and culture in depth, learning how to read, write, and think critically about French-speaking texts and ideas. The iBA option means you spend a year abroad in a French-speaking country, giving you immersion in the language and culture alongside your coursework. This program suits students who love French and want genuine fluency and cultural knowledge, whether or not they're already a strong French speaker at entry.You study how to teach French or English to people who speak a different language at home. This program combines education theory with deep study of the language itself, so you learn both teaching methods and the grammar and culture behind the language you'll teach. It suits people who want to work in schools or community programs helping students learn a second language.
