The best time for a LLC - French student to go abroad will be a combination of their concentration, credits they have transferred in, whether they have a dual major or a minor, whether they plan on taking any summer classes, and obviously their personal situation. Listed below are some suggested time frames for each concentration. Students looking to go abroad during a different period are encouraged to work closely with their department advisor and the Education Abroad Office.
For all concentrations short-term study abroad opportunities are normally fairly easy to fit into a student’s degree plan. Students are able to start participating on short-term programs (winter break, spring break, and summer) as early as their first year.
BS French and Francophone Education
Due to education certification requirements French and Francophone Education majors often study abroad during the 2nd semester of their 2nd year or during the summer. Students should work closely with their department to plan their study abroad experience.
BA French and Francophone Studies
French and Francophone majors often study abroad beginning their 2nd year through their final year on faculty-led, summer partner, and semester/year-long programs.
