About
Many students say one of the reasons they want to learn French at PLU is that it’s such a beautiful language, and we agree! In the French & Francophone Studies major, you’ll immerse yourself in authentic French from the start, with an emphasis on contemporary culture and issues in the French-speaking world. You’ll not only learn to express yourself in French and to understand written and spoken French; you will discover more about yourself and the world around you.
French & Francophone Studies majors often combine their French study with another major. Proficiency in French and cross-cultural competence will enhance your studies and your career, whether it be in teaching, working with NGOs, international business, and more.
