Acadia’s French program offers small class sizes, which improves your interaction with professors and classmates inside and outside the classroom. Professors in the French program at Acadia use the newest technology for teaching and learning a foreign language. Classes above the 1000 level are conducted in French, and the language of the unit is French. When you are in your third year of Acadia’s French program, you will have the opportunity to study for a year in France at the Université François Rabelais in Tours, or at the Institut de Commerce in Nancy. If you complete a major program in French, you will also benefit from exchange positions with the University of Rouen and the University of Poitiers and will have an opportunity to work for a year in France as English-language teaching assistants at the university level. In exchange, French students from Poitiers and Rouen teach French courses at Acadia and animate extra-curricular activities for students and the community as a whole
