FRENCH

A thorough knowledge of French language and Francophone cultures can be an asset in our increasingly global society. GW’s French program seeks to promote an understanding of different cultures as profoundly interconnected through courses focused on literature, film, visual arts, music, history, theater, popular culture and creative writing. Students may choose from a Bachelor of Arts and minor in French.

GW and Washington, D.C., are ideal locations for learning about French and Francophone cultures. From French film screenings to concerts and plays at the French Embassy and presentations on French art at the Smithsonian, opportunities abound. Alumni of GW’s French program have applied their skills to careers in journalism, education, politics, publishing, law and business.
