professor emeritus Fisel
The Department of French offers a varied curriculum designed to provide not only basic language instruction but also the more advanced competencies needed by language specialists and students hoping to take advantage of an international study experience. For the French major, the department has three degree programs: B.S. in Education (K-12), B.A. in Liberal Arts, and the B.A. in French for International Trade. The latter degree program provides solid undergraduate training preparatory to an M.B.A. in International Marketing and Finance.
Students majoring in French will acquire proficiency in all phases of the language and enter more deeply into the history, culture, and literature of Francophone countries. They will also gain some knowledge of the linguistic development of the language throughout the centuries. French majors generally find employment in government work, librarianship, journalism, foreign trade, airlines, tourism, business, and teaching. Students choosing careers as teachers will find the close supervision and advanced methodology offered by the department a distinct asset.
