Why study French at the Βι¶ΉΣ³»?
A language degree opens up numerous career opportunities in a variety of fields where language skills and culture are valued. In addition to broadening your life experiences and your view of the world, studying another language has been shown to improve your general communication skills, your cognitive abilities and your critical thinking. French study on your transcript gives you an edge in any career choice. Among other things, French study offers a gateway to countries that trade with the United States. To compete in a global marketplace and to engage an increasingly diverse U.S. population, major industries, multinational corporations and many branches of government seek employees who speak more than just English. Even small local businesses, without global reach, know that applicants with foreign language skills are better qualified than those without them.
