Suffolk students have many academic choices in French. They can pursue a traditional French major in the study of language, literature and civilization. They can also major in French studies, which provides a broader English-speaking base and more interdisciplinary choices. In conjunction with the Department of Education and Human Services, we prepare interested students to teach French. Our study abroad programs provide authentic language experience. Our partnership with the CAVILAM Institute in Vichy, France offers two academic options: eight weeks or four weeks of intensive French. Both give students credit for courses taken abroad. The CCFS-Sorbonne program allows students to study for a semester or year in Paris, France. We host both a weekly table française and the French Club, which organizes a number of cultural events throughout the semester, such as the viewing and discussion of various films. Students who come from all regions of the French-speaking world work as modern language assistants to tutor students and to broaden their perspectives.
