Students can enter the Program in French and Francophone Studies either from the beginning classes of our language program or, if they already have enough French, move right into upper-level courses.  The major requires the completion of 30 credits at the 3000 level. Click here for a list of the major requirements.

COMING SOON: The French major with a concentration in fashion aims to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of the historical, technical, creative, and business aspects of the global French fashion industry in its broader cultural contexts. The program prepares graduates for specialized roles in the international fashion and luxury goods markets, particularly in French-speaking countries. This concentration in fashion requires a semester of study at the American Business School in Paris (via a UConn Experiential Global Learning program) whose selection of fashion courses includes “Made in Paris: Luxury Quality Management” and “Sales Techniques for Luxury Brands.”
