The French (FH) and Francophone Studies (FFS) area of specialization provides students with an excellent base for careers in many areas, including academics, business, government, journalism, translation, etc. It also prepares students for success in further study at graduate or professional schools in many fields. The French program allows each major the flexibility to explore a variety of disciplines within the field of French and to design his/her individualized course of study to reflect a particular interest in business, cinema, culture, language, linguistics, or literature. We also encourage students to integrate a study abroad experience into their major. For career information visit the UF Career Connections Center.
