As part of the Department of Modern Languages, the French Program provides students with a solid background in the linguistic and cultural understanding necessary to life in a global world. The program encompasses the interdisciplinary interests of its faculty. Courses range from language and culture, French and francophone literature, civilization, business, film, pedagogy, to women studies.
Students learn in exciting ways as professors work with innovative pedagogies: computer-based learning; e-mail programs with students at French Institutions (Ecole des Ponts et Ecole des T?l?communications); teleconferences with the United Nations; video interviews; CD roms; the Internet; films, etc. The program focuses on the development of critical and creative thinking skills and fosters a multicultural perspective through the study of other cultural and conceptual systems.
Language majors are not restricted to careers in any one field; knowledge of another language is now essential for success in many sectors of the business world, government service, and public administration. Recent graduates in Modern Languages have found employment in federal, state, and local government agencies; business; law, medicine; and education. And the Department of Modern Languages provides strong preparation for students planning further study in graduate school.
