Undergraduate education. French Studies at FAU span the globe, providing students with essential knowledge needed to access not simply the culture of metropolitan France, but also the francophone cultures of the Caribbean, Canada, West Africa, Southeast Asia, and North Africa. The strong historical focus of the major track provides students with a clear understanding of the role played by French and francophone cultures in the context of the liberal arts and social sciences.The backbone of the major is advanced competency in the French language, and all but two of the major courses are taught in lingua. French majors therefore receive thorough grounding in French, initially through courses in advanced language and composition, and then with courses which focus on the culture, literature, and history of metropolitan France, with continuous elective offerings in such areas as "La Femme Medievale" or "Caribbean Literature."
