French majors may choose from five different programs of study, concentrating on Language and Literature; Language, Society, and Culture; Francophone Studies; Romance Languages; or French and Linguistics. As part of these programs, the department sponsors internships in education, journalism, publishing, and international relations. Undergraduates taking French find an intellectually stimulating and congenial atmosphere in which to pursue their studies. Members of the department are readily accessible to discuss students' special interests and career plans. Le Cercle Français and informal conversation groups held at La Maison Française afford opportunities for social and cultural interaction. The Department of French is proud of the number of undergraduates who have been elected to Pi Delta Phi, the national French Honor Society. More than 1,000 students, including some 70 majors, are normally engaged in undergraduate study within the Department of French each semester.
