French Language and Society Minor

Coordinator:

Department of Foreign Languages

This minor provides access to French culture as well as insights into our own culture. The program focuses on language-learning as a living, functioning and fun activity, and combines the development of language skills with the discovery of new ways to see and think about different cultures. It fosters international understanding and provides knowledge and skills that are becoming increasingly essential in our evolving global society.

The minor in French language and society is not available to French majors.
