“I am planning to attend a master's program in the French language. Thanks to the quality, helpful preparation I have received from the French faculty here, coupled with a semester of study broad, I feel more than prepared to take on a full-immersion French degree program abroad. Each professor in this department is friendly, engaged and willing to go out of his or her way to assure that students get out of class what they put into it.”
