Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Modern Languages and Cultures (French)] From University of Rochester

In MLC, we encourage the development and refining of oral and written argumentation in both English and the various national languages. Our courses are focused on careful analysis, original research, and the pursuit of knowledge and understanding across disciplines. Opportunities for independent research and honors projects are available in our programs. MLC majors pair well with other majors throughout the College, including the sciences, social sciences, and other humanities programs.

At Rochester, our students are immersed in French language, culture, history, politics, philosophy, art, and more. They attend small classes, meet with instructors regularly, and study and travel abroad. Our students also have the opportunity to experience our local French and Francophone community at cultural events, film screenings, conversation hour, and gastronomic adventures!

Former French majors and minors have gone on to dental school, medical school, law school, advanced degrees in education, graduate school in humanities and sciences. Many of them attribute their competitive edge to proficiency in a second language an exposure to other cultures.
