About

Overview The French program from Williams College allows for an individualized course of study involving work in several departments and the opportunity to study abroad.Students electing the French Studies Major should speak with a French Major Advisor (Professors Brian Martin and Cécile Tresfels in 2020-21) by the end of their sophomore year, before submitting their Declaration of Major Form to the Registrar. This is imperative for students who are planning to spend a part or all of their junior year Studying Abroad.Why Consider a French Major or French Certificate?In our globalized world, the study of foreign languages is essential to cultural understanding and professional success. Employers and graduate schools seek candidates who can bring excellent communication and language skills to their studies and work. Students who have completed foreign language majors and minors report that interviewers are impressed with their language skills and cultural proficiency. This is as true for those attending Medical, Law, and Business Schools as it is for those pursuing careers in Academia, Public Service, and International Relations.Our French Majors and Certificate Students thrive at Williams! They often combine their French Major or Certificate with double majors in Biology, Chemistry, Math, Computer Science, History, Political Science, Art History, English, Comparative Literature, and Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies. They frequently live, intern, and study abroad in France, Switzerland, Morocco, and Sénégal during their junior years, and many spend a postgraduate year working abroad with the Teaching Assistant Program in France. Following graduate school at prestigious universities (such as NYU, University of Michigan, Vanderbilt, and Harvard), our French Majors and Certificate Students gone on to dynamic careers in education, medicine, law, public service, politics, business, journalism, and the arts.
