Why major in French at GW?
French is, and always has been, a global language. Our courses provide a historical and contemporary perspective on French and Francophone literature, culture, and society. Our curriculum fosters deep engagement with cultural production of the French-speaking world and encourages you to develop and hone critical thinking and analytical writing skills. In your courses you will study literature, film, visual arts, music, history, theater, popular culture, and creative writing. We seek to promote an understanding of different cultures as profoundly interconnected.
We welcome double majors from all disciplines and invite motivated students to compete for departmental honors. Our senior majors pursue an in-depth research project on a topic of their choice that can link to their interests outside of the department. Our recent graduates have pursued careers in foreign service, international development, business, secondary and higher education, law and medicine.
