The proficiency you’ll gain from a degree in global French studies grants you access to a vast array of enriching resources, from literature and films to scholarship and journals. This exposure broadens your perspective and allows you to engage critically with cultural artifacts and intellectual discourse throughout the French-speaking world. It also equips you with an experiential asset that is highly valued in many professional settings where linguistic and cultural complexities are present.
Courses in global French studies foster critical thinking skills by analyzing challenging issues such as colonial legacies, postcolonial identities, globalization, migration and cultural hybridity. Outside the classroom, you’ll have the opportunity to engage globally with some of the 320 million French speakers through unique internships that align with your specific interests or immersive study abroad programs in locations that include France, Senegal, Morocco and Madagascar. Whether you’re interested in international diplomacy, journalism, education, international business or any number of other career paths, a background in global French studies can give you a competitive edge.
