DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES & LITERATURES

STUDENTS FROM FRANCE / STUDENTS IN FRANCE

In the internationalization of the Valpo campus, there are two parts to the equation:  the VU student who spends a semester studying abroad in France and the international student who spends a semester on campus.  VU students pursuing a degree in French are fortunate to have many resources at their disposal, both in terms of study-abroad options and opportunities to interact with French students on our campus.  Seizing the chance to interact with native speakers of French will not only help you improve your language skills but also enrich your cultural understanding of the French speaking world.  Before you study abroad yourself, make every effort to take advantage of the opportunities for true exchanges of conversation, culture, and ideas with native-speaker exchange students while preparing for your own study-abroad adventure!
