French Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Immerse yourself in the language, cultures and histories of French-speaking countries when you major in French at the University of Mary Washington. You\u2019ll explore one of the world\u2019s richest literatures, spanning centuries and continents, and examine French cinema, poetry and politics. Study abroad in Paris or Quebec, and consider a minor in business French to prepare for an international career in banking, tourism, or diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
