Overview

In the first years of study, students participate in several conversational labs as well as introductory language courses. Upper-level courses reinforce verbal and written skills in French.

Learning outcomes

By exploring the language that continues to enrich and invigorate the French-speaking world, students develop skills of analysis, reasoning, and communication that will benefit them in their personal and professional lives.

Students studying French at The Centenary College of Louisiana are encouraged to spend at least one semester abroad at one of our sister institutions in Belgium, Paris, Lille, Guadeloupe or Martinique. In addition, there are ample opportunities to study abroad with scholarships through the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana. All new students can profit from Centenary in Paris as well as short courses offered in Haiti.

All faculty in this department are bilingual and have considerable experience abroad. In addition, all Centenary students are able to work at the College’s internationally acclaimed French-language university press. The press is a collaborative effort among Centenary faculty and students. From the very beginning, students have participated in the project by transcribing manuscripts, editing text, designing book covers, creating page layouts, and conducting research with professors.

Since Louisiana is the only bilingual state in the country (English and French), it is the perfect setting for students to study and participate in active learning through visits to other cultural settings.
