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 a mix of subjects that work together — philosophy, modern languages, translation, and topics that bridge different fields. Unlike a traditional single-subject degree, this program lets you design connections across disciplines rather than diving deep into one. It suits students who think across boundaries, want to keep options open, and are comfortable building their own intellectual path.You study a mix of subjects drawn from across the humanities and social sciences, rather than specializing in one major field. This program lets you combine areas like languages, translation, and other liberal arts topics in a way that a traditional single-subject degree does not. It suits students who are curious about multiple disciplines and want flexibility to explore connections between them before committing to a narrow focus.
