Undergraduate Foundation Program WSU’s Undergraduate Foundation program provides additional academic and/or English language support and personalized advising to help students smoothly transition to full university study. Students are unconditionally admitted to the university and graduate in the same amount of time as direct-entry students – they are just provided with additional support courses. Bachelor of Arts - Foreign Languages and Cultures - French The French program at WSU not only provides a comprehensive and practical understanding and use of the French language but also develops intellectual curiosity, critical thinking skills, and an appreciation of the humanistic context of international, especially French-speaking, cultures. The program includes language courses from beginning to advanced levels, as well as courses on French and Francophone literature, film, and culture, all taught by native or near-native French speakers. Students may choose from a B.A. in Foreign Languages with an emphasis in French in either the Language (non-teaching) Option or the Teaching Option. The Language Option includes comprehensive language training complemented by courses in French and Francophone literature, film, and culture. The Teaching Option is intended for students wishing to teach French in the public school system. Students may also choose to complete a professional second major in French. The focus of this degree is to provide students with linguistic and cultural skills necessary to work, collaborate or interact with French counterparts in a professional setting.
