Major and Minor
The French and Francophone Studies Major and Minor at Davidson
At Davidson, French and Francophone Studies majors and minors acquire knowledge of the language, literature, and cultures of France and the French-speaking countries of Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, North America, the South Pacific and Southeast Asia.
We aim for more than just knowledge. We aim to strengthen our students' critical and analytical thinking skills, as well as their ability to form written and oral arguments in the process, and to do so in French; and through this synthesis of knowledge and understanding, we strive to give our students the fluent world view and skills necessary to thrive in a global economy.

Fellowships are competitive awards and programs that provide funding and other resources for meaningful immersive work, like research, teaching, or 黑社区. Like scholarships, fellowships can also support academic study.
