Professional Certificate in French Language and Culture

The Professional Certicate in French Language and Culture provides students with a broad knowledge and cultural foundation necessary for understanding the culture and society of France. One cannot really understand the culture without being exposed to the language that is shaping it and one cannot understand the political and economic dynamics of a society without knowing its cultural foundations. The cornerstone of the Certicate is an expertise in French Language and Culture.

The program is available to degree-seeking students and independently to non-degree seeking students who already have a Bachelor's degree. The Certicate in French Language and Culture is awarded by the Department of Modern Languages at FIU.
