French Studies @ Glendon

Across Canada, French language skills are an asset when applying for federal public sector jobs, and a necessity for advancing to higher-ranking positions.

York’s Minor, Major, Honours and Specialized Honours programs are designed to enhance students’ active communication skills and to develop an appreciation of Francophone cultures and literatures. French Studies will also enable participants to master evaluation and logic analysis methods. Interestingly, the very nature of French Studies promotes non-Cartesian ways of thinking, such as intuition, imagination and aesthetics, and helps students cultivate differing points of view when problem solving.
