French Study Abroad Opportunities
The Department of French and Italian and the
Office of International Affairs offers many opportunities for study abroad in a Francophone country. The Department of French and Italian very strongly encourages students to take advantage of these options. Immersion in the culture of a French-speaking society is essential for a student’s confidence and fluency in the language. Study abroad can also offer some of the most rewarding and memorable moments of a student’s college career.
