Program Overview

Beyond providing mastery of the language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), the main objective of the BachelorÌýof Arts degree in French (FREN) at CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ is to develop students' awareness of the French and Francophone literary and cultural tradition. Their coursework exposes French majors to the wealth of cultural experiences in the French speaking world and gives students a solid knowledge of French and Francophone thought, literature, arts and visual media.ÌýÌýStudies shows that, beyond acquiring a new language, learning French develops skills needed in many professional contexts. French is an analytical language that structures thought, develops critical thinking abilities and helps increase understanding of one's culture.

French is the second truly global language after English and opens doors to international business, relations, law and diplomacy. Aside from being the traditional home of high fashion, avant-garde cinema and arts, France is currently a leader on the world economic scene and is at the forefront of aerospace engineering, medical and climate research. It is also influential on the international diplomatic scene and French speaking skills are a must for all those working in international organizations such as the EU, the UN or NATO.
