Being able to speak French will open up career opportunities in teaching, business, government agencies as well as in many other sectors. Our students have the opportunity to spend the third year of their French program at the Université Catholique de Lille. Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience, a chance to see the world, to make new friends, and to learn to appreciate cultural differences. We have a free tutoring service for students having difficulties with French grammar or composition. Every year, two graduate students from the Université Catholique de Lille will help you improve your pronunciation and conversation skills in the language lab.
