French
“Avoir une autre langue, c’est posséder une deuxième âme.”
“To have another language is to have a second soul.”
And what better language to have than French—one of the most useful languages in business and, some argue, the most romantic of the romance languages.
It’s spoken by more than 275 million people on every continent. As an official language, it’s second only to English and it’s growing fast—some estimate it will be spoken by more than 750 million people by 2050.
At Purchase, you’ll study French through literature, cinema, art history, philosophy, and more.
