Program details

Overview

This is a Bachelor of Arts in French at the University of Calgary, delivered through the Faculty of Arts. The program offers a multidisciplinary examination of French language, literature, culture, art and history, building creative thinking, research and analytical skills alongside intercultural awareness and fluency in French. Students can pursue an honours degree track involving in-depth study of a specific topic under faculty supervision, and the program includes a co-operative work placement option that alternates paid work experience with academic study, as well as study abroad opportunities for students who want to study in a Francophone setting. It suits students who want to combine language learning with the study of Francophone culture and history, whether working toward careers that require French-language fluency or continuing on to graduate study or another professional program.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school, per the program's own admission-requirements tool. Required courses: English Language Arts 30-1, plus four further approved courses (one of which may be an approved option). Estimated competitive admission average: High 70s. Admitting averages are calculated using four approved courses for early admission and the full course set above for standard admission. No test, portfolio, or audition is listed for this program.

Application Details

Application Deadline: For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
