What it is	You study the French language, literature, and cultures of French-speaking regions around the world, not just France. This program goes deeper into reading and analyzing texts than a typical high school French course, and explores the history and societies behind the language. It suits students who enjoy reading and writing in French and want to understand how language shapes culture.	Linguistics is the study of how language works — its structure, sounds, grammar, and how people use it to communicate. This program lets you focus specifically on language science rather than learning to speak a particular language fluently. You can also choose a co-op option to gain work experience in fields like translation, education, or language technology alongside your studies, which suits students who want practical experience before graduation.
