What if French immersion isn't right for you?
If you are interested in a program not on this list—or if you like the idea of studying partially in French but the immersion option doesn’t seem right for you—don’t worry: we have many opportunities for students to learn in both official languages.
Any student may take:
- French-as-a-second-language courses, to focus on grammar, pronunciation and other aspects of the French language;
or
- French Studies or Lettres françaises courses, to learn more about French culture.
