A degree in French studies can lead to such career choices as teaching, government, journalism, media and business. In addition, mastery of a second language has become an invaluable many would say essential arrow in the quiver of the modern university graduate. This is especially true in the Canadian workforce, a major G8 member and an officially bilingual nation. The French Studies program offers a varied and comprehensive course of study that comprises courses in language training, linguistics, the literatures and cultures of the francophone world, and translation. You may study for a three-year general or a four-year honours degree.
