With the help of a faculty advisor, you’ll craft a rigorous course of study that fits your passions and ambitions. Most of your classes will be in French. You’ll build a work portfolio. You’ll become fluent in French. And in the spring semester of your senior year, you’ll make a final presentation demonstrating your mastery. We draw on a long Jesuit tradition of scholarship on and respect for the world's diverse languages and cultures-and virtually all of them are in New York City.
