Housed in the School for the Study of Canada / École d’études canadiennes, the French Studies program includes an array of courses on Franco-Canadian and francophone cultures and literatures, and French language. With courses from the elementary to the advanced levels, the program will help you begin, develop, or deepen your mastery of the French language. Courses on the literatures and cultures of Quebec, French Canada, France, and the world’s Francophonie, ranging from cinema to science fiction to translation to Indigenous literatures, will provide you with a thorough understanding of the national and international Francophonie beyond the mere mastering of the French language. The program will help you become a bilingual, linguistically and culturally aware individual, and shape your future as a teacher, public servant, graduate student, scholar, or global citizen. As a central feature, the Study Abroad program in Nantes, France, gives students majoring in French Studies an opportunity to develop and refine their knowledge of French in a European context, in a city that has a strong connection with Canada.
