UConn’s French and Francophone Studies Program is designed to accommodate a wide array of students:  French majors as well as double-majors from any other discipline in the Arts, the Sciences and the Humanities; students planning to teach at the high school or college level as well as students whose objective is to work in corporations or in non- profit international organizations. Students can enter the Program either at the very beginning, through our language program or by entering upper-level courses upon their arrival at UConn.

The French major requires the completion of 10 courses at the 3000 level. Our major includes a variety of courses that will help you develop solid language skills, learn about the French and francophone world, and experience the joy of speaking French! Study abroad in our Paris program, for either for a year or a semester, or our Toulouse summer program is highly recommended.
