The mission of the department of foreign languages and international studies is to equip language learners for service in both local and global communities through the development of intercultural competence and effective communication in one or more world languages. All our majors benefit from the same language training offered by our nationally recognized teacher licensure programs, which have been awarded this status by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. This recognition places us in the top tier of foreign language departments of colleges and universities across the United States.
A degree in French with a teacher's license will prepare you to teach French in K-12 schools or English in a French-speaking country. You may also provide translation or interpretation services for local hospitals, schools, chambers of commerce or other community organizations.
A degree in French will prepare you well for various roles in travel and tourism including translation, interpretation, airline services, hotel management and international travel agencies.
