Overview

The French degree offered by The University of Arizona is designed to prepare students for a variety of professional options such as a career in teaching French as a foreign language or pursuing doctoral studies in French and Francophone programmes or related fields.

Key Features

Students normally proceed through the programme in four semesters, completing 5 courses for 15 units during each year in residence. Students meet regularly with the Director of Graduate Studies to craft a curriculum that suits their individual needs and interests. In addition, each student is assigned a faculty mentor.

For all options, a minimum of seven classes (this does not include French 593 nor thesis units) must be taken with professors in the French department. Students taking French courses taught in English will do reading and written work in French whenever possible. Links below offer detailed descriptions of the programme's areas of emphasis.
