Concentration in French

In the larger cultural picture, it is, of course, impossible to separate language from culture, culture from literature, or literature from how an author chooses to use a language. Therefore, the core courses required of all French concentrators provide a solid basis in all these areas. Concentrators may also elect an option which will enable them to pursue further the study of film, civilization, language, or literature.
