Overview

Bachelor of Arts in French

The French program is the most comprehensive; it offers practically-oriented language courses at all levels and courses in literature, culture, applied linguistics, and civilization of the Francophone world (with special emphasis on Canada – mainly Acadia and Québec – and France).

French may be taken as a major with honours, as a major or combined major in a degree program of 20.0 units, as a minor, as a concentration, or as an elective at any level consistent with advanced standing and/or permission of the Modern Languages department.

The major option seeks to form good readers of Francophone literature and critical thinkers, proficient writers, and strong oral communicators. 

Many of the students aspire to become school teachers, and it provides them with the background necessary to enter the Bachelor of Education program.

Other students hope to enter other domains such as translation, international relations, and tourism & hospitality. The program provides the necessary knowledge and fluency to make graduates desirable candidates in the job market.

The French placement test is recommended for all new students in French, particularly those who are not sure which course(s) would be appropriate to their needs.

Mount Saint Vincent University offers a limited enrollment internship option for students registered in either the 20.0 unit Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.
