French

Overview

A Grace College French degree will help you make workable connections between French literature, conversation, and film, preparing you to weigh questions and create conversation in a Christian college context.

The French program at Grace College and Seminary is for you if you are serious about creating an impact in a French career. With a bachelor’s degree in French, you will be required to get real-world experience ensuring you are equipped for jobs in international missions, teaching, translation, and countless other areas.

Whether you have previously studied French or are a beginner, the French program at Grace College invites you into a world of new language and cultural experiences. As an official language of the United Nations, NATO, UNESCO, and the International Red Cross, French is a strategic choice for students interested in diplomacy, international business, missions, and humanitarian work. It is also a language that gives you access to some of the most influential thinkers and writers in European history. 

On campus, our students have the opportunity to study not only French language, but also French and Francophone culture, literature, and film. We offer a range of co-curricular activities, including conversation hours, cultural workshops, and film viewings. Students majoring in French or French Education solidify their skills by spending a semester or summer at Université de Bourgogne in Dijon, France, or Laval University in Quebec, Canada, for an immersive, cross-cultural experience through our Study Abroad program.

Future French Speaker, the way forward is Grace.
