What is the French Major?

Whether your interest is global or local, the program of French and Francophone Studies at Notre Dame provides an entrée into research and scholarship on language, culture, politics, economics, migration, gender, public health, and faith, among other areas of concentration. Study French at Notre Dame, and you can do anything. We offer a major, supplementary major, or minor in French.

French is spoken regularly by close to 275 million people worldwide. And it is an official working language of the United Nations, UNESCO, the International Monetary Fund, the International Olympic Committee, the Council of Europe, and the European Commission.

French and Francophone literature, theater, and film still have the capacity to captivate, and the legacy of French philosophers, literary theorists, and social scientists continues to influence and shape most other disciplines in Notre Dame’s College of Arts and Letters.

With 20 departments across the humanities, arts, and social sciences, the College of Arts and Letters is home to exceptional faculty and talented students who are studying what they love. It's an environment to ask big questions, read classic texts, and explore languages and cultures.

We're not just about learning through acquisition. We're about learning through exploration. Our undergraduate students travel the globe to research topics that fascinate them, then turn their observations into conclusions about the world.

Through the liberal arts, you learn to read deeply. Think about issues critically. Discuss topics thoughtfully. Write arguments persuasively. Contribute to projects creatively. And these abilities aren't just vital in the classroom—they're exactly what employers, graduate schools, and service organizations are looking for.
