BA with Honours in French
This program offers systematic, comprehensive and individualized study of French language, literature, linguistics and other program elements both inside and outside the classroom. It is, therefore, an option which should be considered seriously by any student who, with career or personal objectives in mind, wishes to obtain a strong background in French and by those who plan to teach or earn a graduate degree in French.
Honours students are strongly encouraged to enrich their learning experience by spending at least one term in a French-speaking area. Please consult the department for information on our Dijon study abroad program and exchange opportunities in Morocco.
Potential Honours applicants should consult the Department’s Undergraduate Advisor, preferably during their second year of study, regarding the application procedure and relevant deadlines.

Honours Conversion
The Honours Conversion is an option for continued study open to anyone who has previously completed a BA (90 credit hours) program at Dalhousie. Normally, it consists of 30 credit hours of course work plus six additional credit hours: either an honours essay or an oral interview based on course work and /or a specific topic. Requirements for the Honours Conversion are similar to those for the concentrated Honours Program, but will vary according to individual circumstances.
120 credit hour degrees may also be converted to Honours degrees; please consult the departmental Undergraduate Advisor.
