We believe deeply in the college\u2019s long-standing dedication to internationalism\u2014and we believe studying a language and the diverse cultures it expresses is an essential piece of practicing that commitment wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From French 101 to the senior capstone project, we challenge our students to step outside their own perspectives. And along the way, we see how this changes them. Their worldviews broaden. They grapple with nuanced, complex, global issues\u2014in French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through that journey, expect your intellectual curiosity to be piqued. You\u2019ll be learning from faculty from the US, France, Senegal, and New Zealand. Courses focus on cultural productions from France and Francophone regions (from Europe to Quebec, West Africa to Louisiana, Haiti to French Polynesia, and the Caribbean to Asia) in different genres: literature, cinema, graphic novels, theatre, visual art, philosophy, and theory. Recent course topics include the Animal and the Human in the French Enlightenment, Parisiennes, and Food in French and Francophone Cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All French, all the time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to speak better French? Speak <em>more<\/em> French. We offer language immersion without having to leave campus: each semester, four students live in our French House, directed by our student program assistant. It\u2019s a natural springboard to prepare for a semester away, but even if you don\u2019t live there, you\u2019ll get to know the house well: it\u2019s the hub for lots of cultural activities on campus. (And it\u2019s part of your homework\u2014you\u2019ll check out two of those activities for every course in the department. Click here for some photos of recent events!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our top study abroad destinations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Study international development in Senegal and complete an internship or research project<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pursue internship programs in Paris, Strasbourg, and Brussels or direct-enroll in French universities in Paris and Nantes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study Moroccan society and culture and explore community-based learning in Rabat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life after Macalester<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through their vibrant experience in our community, around the Twin Cities, and all over the world, our students leave Macalester equipped with the language and cultural proficiency to engage in the world across many differences. Those lessons stay with them long after graduation. Our alumni work in diplomacy, law, finance, education, the arts, sustainable agriculture, theater, communications, and public health.<\/p>\n\n\n<accordion-container\n    tag=\"section\"\n

education through connecting with Twin Cities organizations. That starts on campus, with vibrant guest speakers from the Twin Cities, and continues to a wide range of internship possibilities at sites ranging from human rights organizations to immersion schools. Students also pursue national and international internship opportunities, from working in a US Embassy in Europe to conducting a research project in Cameroon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our unique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/french\/about\/events\/\">French Lecture Series<\/a>, students learn from well-known speakers. Our guests include scholars, writers, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and performance artists from Minnesota, around the United States, France, and around the Francophone world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our faculty support students throughout their journeys: from your first day on campus to study away decisions, a challenging poem or essay, or life after Mac. And our alumni love to talk, too: each year we host an alumni panel to share perspectives and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Department
