I think the French program at UL Lafayette is in a unique position that no other American university can quite match. We, as French-learning 泫圖弝けs, have access to a unique kind of French that is spoken nowhere else in the world.
You should major in French if:
- You love the French language and want to become highly proficient in it.
- You are passionate about French and Francophone literature and cultures.
- You are dedicated to participating in la Francophonie in 泫圖弝け and the world.
