Courses in modern languages give the liberal arts student a cultural awareness gained only through the study of the language and literature of another country. From the course “Beginning French” through “Syntax and Stylistics,” your command of French language and communication skills will grow as your knowledge of French culture, history, and literature expands.
Courses are normally conducted in French and by numerous means to bring relevance to the language education.
Majors and minors are encouraged to enroll in an approved semester-long study abroad program in France. To those unable to study abroad, joining a travel JanTerm to France might be of interest.

All students who take French are encouraged and eligible to apply for a space in the French House in order to immerse themselves in French outside of the regular classroom and on a daily basis. The French House is part of the Austin College Jordan Family Language House. The French Club of Austin College hosts film nights and other events at this location. Each student in the language house receives personal attention in the target language by a native language house teaching assistant.
