Outcomes

Opportunities for using a liberal arts degree with a major or minor in French and Francophone Studies are endless. EC grads have used their French proficiency and critical thinking skills to pursue careers in teaching, international trade, law, administration, and work with international organizations. They have gone on to graduate school in such fields as law, architecture, ethnomusicology, comparative literature, French, and communication studies. As recipients of Watson fellowships, two recent graduates incorporated French in their projects of researching the lives of Senegalese immigrants in France and of comparing computer languages in western and nonwestern cultures. Other recent graduates now work in TV broadcasting, political lobbying, and organic farming, and several are teaching English in France.
