French
Expand your reach and gain access to other cultures as you acquire the foundation of a genuinely multicultural education.
Why Earn a BA in French?
Earning a degree in French opens the door to a career in a number of fields—business, education, journalism, law, law enforcement, library science, medicine, public health, social work, translation and interpreting. You can become a language teacher in the United States or in international schools with an advanced degree in French education, or you could become a professional translator or interpreter.

All About Global Studies
In Autumn 2016, a few months after I graduated, I was selected to work during the 2016–2017 school year as an English teaching assistant in a few elementary schools in a small town located an hour north of Paris via the prestigious Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF). The overall experience of living and working in France was one of the most priceless experiences of my life.

Minor, Degree & Certificate Options
Adelphi’s Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures offers several different options for pursuing language studies, including opportunities to double major, several minor options and a certificate in translation studies.
Double Major
High-achieving students may choose to double major, pursuing multiple language degrees or a language degree in addition to other degrees from the College of Arts and Sciences. Recent double majors have paired their language major with biology, dance, art or an additional language.
Minor in French
辅修法语可以补充你的学习，丰富你的个人生活，并获得可应用于专业目标的实用技能。如果你想辅修法语，你必须完成18-24个法语学分，这取决于你的入学水平。建议你尽早联系语言学院，以便在发展一门合适的语言辅修课程时得到个别指导。
Certificate in Translation Studies
Designed for students taking one of three languages—Spanish, French or Italian—the program is applicable to students interested in careers that involve the frequent translation of documents such as education, social work, literature and business. The program also has a component in interpreting for a variety of legal settings (depositions, courts, lawyer’s offices) and healthcare (hospital, clinics, doctor’s offices).
The certificate program is open to current University students and college graduates seeking to add to their portfolio and make themselves more marketable to employers.
