The Department of French strives to train students to accommodate cultural differences with flexibility and to thrive in global society while embracing relationships with people from other countries.
To that end, it offers two courses that students can choose during their first year based on their personalities so that they can master basic academic skills as well as advanced, specialized skills.The Course in French Studies gives students a deep understanding of French culture while fostering their ability to think for themselves through an intensive study of the French language, while the Advanced Course in European Studies invites students to study European culture through a study of primarily French, but also English and German, while fostering their ability to think from a comprehensive perspective.
Both courses seek to provide an educational experience that acknowledges changes in society and advances in information technology by incorporating the latest research findings and offering IT-related classes.
