Students can either pursue a single Major (B.A. in French) or a Double Major (Combined Honours in French and another subject in Humanities, B.A).

For example, students can specialize in French alone or French and English, French and History or French and Communication Studies & Media Arts.
For a Combined Honours, the same number of courses are required for the B.A as is the case for a single Honours; the tuition is also the same for both.

Students may also minor in French (24 units) while completing a major specialization in another program.
