Bachelor of Arts in French

A degree in French provides IU South Bend students with the tools to become a true international citizen in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual global community. The French Program promotes proficiency in the French language, knowledge of French and Francophone cultures and literatures, and the students' active engagement in cultural and linguistic exchanges.
