Overview

The French program at Oglethorpe University is informed by “the five C’s”: communication, culture, connections, comparisons, and communities.

As a French student, not only will you acquire fluency in one of the world’s most beautiful languages, but you’ll also develop a deep understanding of Francophone politics, history, and art. You’ll explore the complex and interesting cultures that make up the French-speaking world: spanning the globe from Belgium and Switzerland, to the Francophone nations found in Africa and the Caribbean, to French-Canadian Québec. (And of course, France!)

Another unique aspect of Oglethorpe’s curriculum: a course that explores the French and Spanish crossroads in the Caribbean and Africa, delving into the relationships between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Martinique and Cuba, Equatorial Guinea and Senegal, and other pairings.

The course brings together literary, cultural, and social exploration with service learning – students conduct interviews with people from these nations, while broadening their understanding of the literature. The course is taught in English, making it more accessible to the OU community as a whole.

Life After Oglethorpe

As a French graduate, you can draw on your diverse knowledge, your interdisciplinary background, and your skills in communication and critical thinking to find work in a wide variety of fields. Think museums, libraries, nonprofit organizations, the corporate world, and more. Many French graduates also go on to teach French, or become educators in another field.

Build on your degree in French by pursuing a graduate degree in French language, literature, or cultural studies, international studies, business, or law, to further expand your career opportunities and level up your resume.
