Overview
This four-year Bachelor of Arts with a major in French requires 120 credits and combines language study with training in Francophone literature and linguistics. The French major accounts for the largest block of credits and includes academic writing, an introduction to literature, poetry, linguistics, research methodology, and courses focused on Acadian literature and language. An English-language requirement runs alongside the major, and the remainder of the degree is filled out with humanities, science, and a large number of elective credits, giving students flexibility to shape part of their program. The page does not indicate a co-op placement or thesis component; the degree is structured as standard undergraduate coursework. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Arts with the French major noted on the diploma and transcript. Admission requires a secondary school diploma with five academic or advanced-level Grade 12 courses, including French, and an average of at least 60%, with some variation by province. The program is aimed at students who want in-depth training in French language and literature, including a specific focus on Acadian culture, and it is described as supporting both francophone and anglophone students who wish to strengthen their French. It suits those planning further study or careers connected to language, literature, or Francophone cultural life.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a secondary school diploma, or equivalent, with a minimum average of 60% across five required Grade 12 (or provincial-equivalent) courses that must include a French course: FRA 12 in Nova Scotia, French 10411 in New Brunswick, FRA 621M in Prince Edward Island, FRA 506 (Diplome du secondaire V) in Quebec, FRAN 4U in Ontario, or le francais (niveau 3000) in Newfoundland and Labrador, alongside four further Grade 12 academic or advanced courses. Because the programme is taught in French, Universite Sainte-Anne requires that students whose mother tongue is not French, and whose French competence is below the level the university requires, complete the institution's total-immersion French programme to the required proficiency level before enrolling in the degree itself.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Université Sainte-Anne publishes no fixed closing date for domestic (Canadian) applicants, who submit their application online for a $55 fee ($60 for the Baccalauréat en éducation and master's programmes) and are assessed as received, though the scholarship-application deadline is 28 February. International applicants use a separate portal with fixed cut-offs for the 2026-27 cycle: applications for the autumn/fall session must be submitted before 1 May of the same year, and for the winter session before 1 August of the preceding year, i.e. by 1 August 2026 for winter 2027 entry. The institution does not describe domestic admission as rolling, but gives it no fixed close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
