In our multicultural, global community, French, with over 150,000,000 speakers, is a major means of communication between people in over 52 countries of the world. As such, it is essential both for students who anticipate a career as teachers of French lnaguage, civilization, and culture ans for those who see the study of French as an adjunct to studies in another field.

- International Business
- Tourist industry, hotel and restaurant managment
- Public service, with local, national and international agencies such as the U.N., NAFTA, E.U. or the Olympics
