Mount Allison offers an extensive French Studies programme with a variety of language and literature courses which increase the students' awareness of the French and French-Canadian cultures while developing their ability to function in the second language. To this end, all courses are taught in French. The courses at first and second year levels provide the opportunity to establish a sound foundation in oral and written French. The study of grammar, at these levels, is reinforced by practice in the language laboratory. Several of the courses at the 3000 and 4000 levels are specifically intended to refine the students' command of spoken and written French, while the other courses deal with the various areas of French literature, French-Canadian literature and the theories of literary criticism. A series of prizes and medals are awarded each year to students who distinguish themselves in French Studies. The Department sponsors other programmes and activities which support and enrich the course programme:

• Le Cercle français;
• The Ciné-Club;
• Guest speakers (Jean Bousquet Lecture Series);
• Tintamarre, a French theatrical troupe;
• La Maison française (a French-language residence);
• French programming, CHMA-FM Radio;
• Study Abroad Programme at the Université de Strasbourg, France;
• Certificate of Bilingualism.
