Program details
Overview
The French and Education Certificate is for students who may or may not be enrolled in a degree program and who wish to improve oral and written French proficiency. It is also for those who wish to enhance their knowledge of the language for cultural or professional needs. The program is not intended for native French speakers. You'll study French language, writing, speaking, literature, and linguistics.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The certificate's own page states only that applicants must meet Simon Fraser University's normal admission requirements and separately obtain admission approval from the Department of French; it publishes no GPA threshold, language-test score, portfolio or interview requirement of its own. General SFU admission for Canadian high-school applicants needs at least five approved Grade 12 courses, including English Studies 12 or equivalent at 70% or better in Language Arts 11/English 12, filed through EducationPlannerBC; international secondary-school applicants are assessed on a first-semester senior-year transcript. The certificate is open to students without a bachelor's degree, and up to nine transfer units in French plus six in education may be credited toward it, subject to the French department's approval.
