Our faculty come from France, Quebec, Africa, the French Caribbean, Lebanon, and the Maghreb. You will learn from dedicated professionals in French as a Second Language. Using a communicative approach to teaching, they will provide you with a deep foundation in the language, while sharing an understanding of the rich and varied culture and traditions found throughout the Francophone world. For graduate students, our programs provide rigorous graduate instruction in key content areas, taught by renowned specialists.

Outside the classroom, you’ll be immersed in an extraordinarily vibrant community of French Language learners. You’ll participate in organized in-language cocurricular activities—such as soccer, singing, and even baking pastries—each designed to help you build new vocabulary while developing cultural fluency.
