French IEP FAQs

Back | Next

 

Q11:  Do I need a background in French?  

No. Many students begin with no prior knowledge of French. Any background does mean a head start, though.  Students with a 2-3 year background can begin the program by registering for an intermediate level French course. It is assumed that students will wish to build upon their high school French courses.

The International Engineering Program is a dual-degree program combining a B.A. in German, French and/or Spanish with a B.S. in one of the engineering disciplines.  IEP students study language and culture each semester along with their engineering curriculum. In the fourth year of the five-year program, they then go abroad as interns with engineering based firms in Europe or Latin America, and also as exchange students with one of our partner universities
