Program details
Overview
French as a Second Language at Bishop's University is a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Major offered by the Département d'études françaises et québécoises in the Faculty of Humanities. The program develops and strengthens French-language proficiency for students at all starting levels, with coursework structured across five sequential levels that each combine grammar, writing, and oral comprehension. It also includes study of Francophone cultures and literature from across the Francophone world, from Québec to Senegal, taught by faculty drawn from a range of Francophone regions. The program prepares students for bilingual careers, French teaching, or other roles where strong French proficiency is required. It admits students each Fall and Winter term and is open to applicants from high school, CEGEP, another university, or outside Canada. Graduates are prepared for careers such as French teacher, interpreter, diplomatic agent, international student advisor, government employee, and international logistics coordinator, among other roles requiring bilingual competency.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission is assessed by applicant category. CEGEP students who have completed or are completing a DEC may apply regardless of the DEC's field of study, with no specific prerequisite courses required; the estimated minimum admission average is a 24 global R-Score (25 R-Score for School of Education programs). Canadian high school applicants from outside Quebec must complete five Grade 12 level university-preparatory courses, including Grade 12 level English, three Approved courses, and one further Approved or Option course; required and approved courses vary by province. International, IB, transfer, mature-student, and other applicant categories have their own published requirements. All applicants must submit a recent transcript, and CEGEP applicants must also provide their Quebec permanent code. Meeting the posted minimum does not guarantee admission, as applications are evaluated competitively when demand exceeds available spaces.
