French Major and Minor

Suffolk students have many academic choices in French at Suffolk. They can pursue a traditional French major in the study of language, literature and civilization. They can also choose to major in French Studies, which provides a much broader English-speaking base and more interdisciplinary choices. Our partnership with the CAVILAM Institute in Vichy, France provides us with two academic options: 8 weeks or 4 weeks of intensive French. Both give students credit for courses taken abroad. We organize a weekly Table française and a host of cultural events, such as the viewing and discussion of various films throughout the semester. Students who come from all regions of the French-speaking world work as modern language assistants to tutor students and to broaden their perspective of the French-speaking world.
