| What it is | This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses across different subjects — especially languages, translation, and cultural studies — rather than following one set path. You pick your own focus and mix disciplines in ways that suit your interests and goals. It works well for students who know they want broad knowledge across multiple fields or who haven't settled on a single major yet. | This 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 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. |
