Make connections through French
Mercer University’s French program invites you to make connections between French language study and your personal and professional goals. By studying French language, culture, society, and literature in our inherently interdisciplinary program, you will graduate from Mercer with highly sought-after skills such as critical thinking, textual analysis, and cultural competence — not to mention reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in a language spoken by 300 million people worldwide.
French will prepare you for:
- Careers in health care, business, diplomacy, education, translation, and more
- Peace Corps
- Travel to over 30 countries in Europe and Africa
- Navigating francophone cultures
