Northwestern’s French BA propels students toward advanced proficiency while immersing them in the literature, cinema, politics, and diverse histories of the Francophone world—from Parisian salons to Dakar slam poetry. Intensive language classes employ immersive pedagogy and media production, while content seminars dissect issues like colonial memory, fashion capitalism, and digital activism. Study-abroad options in Lyon, Montreal, and Martinique cultivate intercultural agility. A Francophone film festival curated by undergraduates bridges campus and Chicago communities. Graduates thrive in international law, diplomacy, global marketing, and translation industries.
