 Return to: Academic Departments
Overview
The French Studies major strives to bring together French language, culture and history from around the world, as means to understanding their combined influence on the global stage. French Studies will combine coursework stressing interpersonal development, intercultural capacities, and linguistic fluency as required by ACTFL (American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages). Its strong focus on interdisciplinarity, diversity and inclusivity will make this program the perfect embodiment of an effective Liberal Arts education as detailed in Trinity’s core values (perpetual discovery, enduring excellence, intentional inclusivity). Majors are strongly encouraged to participate in study-abroad programs in French-speaking (Francophone) countries.
