If you want to major in French, Western Michigan University offers two options for you. The first is a language, literature and culture program leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Arts and Sciences. The second is also a language, literature and culture program, but it leads to a teaching degree from the College of Education and Human Development.
Both options include a strong focus on French language and culture. Basic coursework covers fundamental, intermediate and advanced French, French life and culture or Francophone life and culture, literature and linguistics. To round out your program, you will choose electives with the help of your advisor. The education curriculum is similar to the arts and sciences curriculum, but provides you with additional training that will prepare you to teach French at the middle and high school levels.
