French

The aim of the French program is to provide students with French communication skills and an understanding of the language and its culture. Students develop a usable command of the French language that can be expanded through further study or contact with French-speaking people.

By the end of the four-year program, students in the Core Program will be able to:

  • Participate in a straight-forward conversation in French
  • Read (with the help of a dictionary) books, magazines, and newspapers in French
  • Understand the general meaning of radio and television news and other programs
