For the French major, the department has three degree programs: the B.A. degree with a major in French, the B.A. degree with a major in French for International Trade, and the B.S.Ed. degree degree with a major French Education (K–12). The degree program in French for International Trade provides the solid undergraduate training preparatory to an MBA in International Marketing and Finance.
Students majoring in French will acquire proficiency in all phases of language and enter more deeply into the history, culture, and literature of Francophone countries. They will also gain knowledge of the linguistic development of the language throughout the centuries. French majors generally find employment in government work, librarianship, journalism, foreign trade, airlines, tourism, business, and teaching. Students choosing careers as teachers will find the close supervision and advanced methodology offered by the department a distinct asset.
