B.A. in French

?Proficiency in a second language gives many students a competitive edge. French is one of the world’s most common second languages and many of the world's international organizations, including the UN, Red Cross, WTO and UNESCO, operate in French speaking cities. The European Union main offices and the European Parliament are also located in French speaking countries. At Rochester, our students are immersed in French language, culture, history, politics, philosophy, art, and more. They attend small classes, meet with instructors regularly, and study and travel abroad. Our students also have the opportunity to experience our local French and Francophone community at cultural events, film screenings, conversation hour, and gastronomic adventures! Former French majors and minors have gone on to dental school, medical school, law school, advanced degrees in education, graduate school in humanities and sciences. Many of them attribute their competitive edge to proficiency in a second language an exposure to other cultures.
