French thought continues to shape America today through various intellectual currents, for example post-structuralism and post-modernism. Recently, Lake Erie College students have planned and completed innovative study abroad and internship experiences in France. The courses in the major and minor help to develop not only communication skills, but a strong foundation in the cultural diversity called Francophonie.

Ramuz and Debussy in their native language. View more details on Lake Erie College . Ask your questions and apply online for this program or find other related Language courses.
