Major in 法国

Our flexible 法国 program imparts to students an understanding of a global society and interdependent world. 课程 in 法国 enable the student to learn the 法国 language and become familiar with Francophone cultures.

World Language 专业 with a concentration in 法国 and Francophone STudies also study the outstanding figures of Francophone literatures and civilizations and are prepared for careers in teaching, government service, and private corporations.

Students who major or minor in 法国 are strongly encouraged to study abroad. 在 five- to six-week summer sessions, JU students can travel to Europe, Canada, and/or Africa to experience the culture of these regions while living with host families. The University also participates in academic credit study abroad programs that offer summer or semester study opportunities tailored especially for each student.

Independent study projects are encouraged, especially those that cross disciplines and permit students to receive academic credit both in the chosen foreign language and in another area such as history, political science, biology or business.

Students who plan to teach 法国 on the secondary level should consult with the School of Education early in their academic careers to determine the specific requirements.
