French for Heritage Speakers
If you grew up in a home where French is spoken, should you still study French? At UNI, the answer is yes!
The Department of Languages & Literatures allows heritage speakers of French to earn credit based on their previous language experiences that can be applied to UNI language requirements or toward a major, minor, or certificate in French.
Develop your skills
Many heritage learners go on to take more advanced courses in literature, cultural studies, translation, and linguistics in French. They also participate in study abroad programs and internships where they apply their French language skills out in the world.
These students know that developing academic and professional skills in French will complement their professional advancement in almost any field.
