Carleton’s Department of French makes it easy to integrate French into your studies, whether you wish to major in French, expand your BA with a minor in French or enroll in a single course. The department’s comprehensive approach allows students to benefit from language courses that are culturally grounded in the francophone world. Our course structure spans beginner to advanced levels, targets both oral and written proficiency, and focuses on students’ full development as competent readers, speakers and writers. Courses in our BA programs in French offer students the opportunity to specialize in literary studies or French linguistics. You may engage academically with topics ranging from emerging voices in Quebec literature to writers from Africa and the Caribbean to the social dynamics of language. Exchange opportunities are available to students majoring in French.

Combined Honours Bachelor of Arts

Students in this program can combine their studies in French with another discipline. They will fulfill the credit requirements for a combined program in both majors. The Combined Honours program in Journalism and French is available to students in the Bachelor of Journalism program.

A co-operative education component is also available for the French (Honours) program. Eligible students will be able to alternate periods of study with work placements in a variety of cultural, media, publishing, educational, public and private organizations, in and outside Ottawa. Co-op placements can help students gain practical experience, make connections and pay for their studies.
