The Department of French Studies offers courses in three curricular areas enabling students to pursue interests in French language, linguistics, and literature. The language-skills courses form a prescribed language sequence designed to help students improve their proficiency in French. These courses constitute a curricular core, which is complemented by offerings in linguistics and literature. In addition to Honours BA and BA degree programs, the Department of French Studies offers Certificates of Language Proficiency in Basic French, Intermediate French and Advanced French.
