Bachelor of Arts - Modern Languages - French Language and Culture

A Bachelor of Arts Degree in Modern Languages with an Emphasis in Language and Culture will provide students with a broader understanding of Francophone culture through its primary manifestation: language. The Language and Culture emphasis is designed with language fluency in mind. Pittsburg State faculty have designed a robust regimen of coursework to improve students’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. But the program doesn't stop here. Students will also gain exposure to historical, literary, and social artifacts of French-speaking cultures.

Pittsburg State provides intermediate upper-level students (4th semester and above) with intense weekly conversational sessions with a French native speaker. Students in these sessions quickly improve their language skills and gain a better appreciation for the Francophone culture.

Many students choose French as a second major to complement a career in business, law, or social and health services. The simple fact is a Modern Languages degree complements any major degree program. Other possible careers include:

• Bilingual Educator
• Diplomat
• Journalist
• Interpreter
• Translator
