在毕晓普大学的第一学期之前，学生修读的法语作为第二语言课程（–FRE—）无法算作未成年人。
Learning French is more than acquiring a new language - it’s unlocking a world of possibilities. Whether you’re exploring new places, building international friendships, or pursuing a global career, French gives you the freedom to go further. At Bishop’s, small class sizes, personalized support, and a unique bilingual environment make it an ideal place to develop your French skills.These programs are designed for students who wish to specialize in French as a second language or in Études françaises et québécoises. Often, but not necessarily, students who complete the Honours program continue to graduate studies. Each program is made up of 60 credits (20 courses) to be completed within the department: a combination of FRE and FRA courses for the Honours in French as a Second Language, and only FRA courses for the Honours in Études françaises et québécoises. Up to 9 credits (3 courses) completed in related fields of study may be recognized by the department. The student will have to maintain a grade point average of at least 70%, to be calculated over the best 60 credits of their Honours subject (including courses taken in related fields), in order to graduate with the Honours program mention, as is the case all across the Arts and Science Division.
