French Bachelor's Degree Highlights

  • Study abroad. We strongly encourage our French students to spend time abroad. UToledo’s Center for International Studies and Programs connects students with opportunities in French-speaking regions around the world.

Our curriculum dovetails nicely with degrees in business, film, political science, art history and more. We’ve even had pharmacy students double-major in French.
  • Heritage speakers welcome. Did you grow up in a French-speaking family? Maybe you aren’t confident in your conversational skills or want to learn more about your culture. We welcome you to the program.
  • Placement exams. Our enthusiastic advisers work with you to find the right level of classes. We offer walk-in tests daily in Memorial Field House, room 1080.
