        If French is your second language and you're hoping to have an immersion experience in France, learn more about French-language culture and literature, or teach French in an English-language setting, then the French Studies program offered by the Département de français is just what you need.

        You start by taking language courses for non-Francophones to improve your French-language skills. Then, you can study the cultures and literatures of France, Quebec, the Franco-Ontarian community and other Francophone communities by taking courses for non-Francophones, all of which include cultural, linguistic and literary components. This is an ideal formula if your goal is to teach French as a second language.

        (If you are interested in teaching in elementary or high school, you will have to add a BEd in the Faculty of Education to your first degree.)

        Another advantage of the French Studies program: it allows you to pursue a master's in French, which will give you the opportunity to teach at the college level or open the door to very interesting careers, for example, in the public service.

        This program is offered in French only to non-Francophones.
