CURRICULUM
Our curriculum has been expanded to include not only the language and literature courses required to establish linguistic competence, but also offerings in film and cultural studies. While the introductory courses stress language acquisition and cultural breadth, students in advanced courses can focus on specific areas of cultural, historical, or literary areas of interests. Some popular recent courses include Francophone Women Writers, Cinema, U.S. and Latino Writers of Caribbean Descent, Business French, Business Spanish, and French Fairy Tales. The curriculum reflects the diverse interests of the faculty as well as the particular needs of Georgia College undergraduate students. Language classes use innovative pedagogical methods and interactive technologies. All courses are designed to give students the tools to live and work in an increasingly global world.
