| What it is | You 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 the Anishinaabemowin language — the language of Anishinaabe peoples in the Great Lakes region — alongside broader Aboriginal Studies content. This is a dedicated language program, not a general Indigenous studies degree, so you spend significant time learning to speak, read, and write the language itself. It suits people with genuine interest in Indigenous languages and cultures, particularly those from Anishinaabe communities or those committed to language revitalization work. | 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. | French Literature and Linguistics is a four-year university program taught entirely in French. You study French language, literature, and writing across different periods and genres, with options to compare French works to literature in other languages. The co-op version lets you complete paid work terms at cultural organizations, media outlets, or other French-language employers alongside your classes. This program suits students who are fluent in French and want to deepen their understanding of the language and its literary traditions rather than just learn French as a second language. |
