French Languages & Culture for the Professions
Introduction
As the world continues to become increasingly
diverse across traditional borders and cultural boundaries--there
will be more demand in the workplace and for communities to
effectively negotiate otherness--different ways of living lives,
which will directly impact professional practices.
Knowledge of a foreign language / culture will
continue to grow in importance as a foundation for functioning
successfully in a global economy across many professions. The
proposed track (students may major or minor within the track) in
French Language and Culture for the Professions is intended for
those students who are pursuing pre-professional studies in fields
such as economics and management, communication studies, science, or
public policy among others; or for those students who are pursuing
more traditional liberal arts fields and wish to add a practical
component to their education. The French Languages and Culture for
the Professions track will provide
a combination of pre-professional courses in French with cultural courses in order to
prepare students for working in a culturally diverse world and
economy--learning and practicing professional skills in the target
language and attaining cultural knowledge of the target country.
Students will be expected to attain high linguistic competence.
QUALIFIED students may choose a “fast track”
language program at an approved summer institution domestically or
language / internship program abroad during the summer after their
freshman year. To qualify for this special program a student must
complete an interview to be conducted by the Department of Foreign
Languages.
