French Studies (Minor)
Department: World Languages and Cultures
The French Studies Minor provides students with a foundation in French language and culture while offering the flexibility to explore the French-speaking world from multiple perspectives. Core coursework develops proficiency in French and deepens understanding of culture and literature. Interdisciplinary options allow students to connect their studies with fields such as the arts and social sciences, creating a program that complements a wide range of majors and interests. This combination of language training and cross-disciplinary inquiry prepares students to engage meaningfully with Francophone communities across the globe.
