The BA After Another Undergraduate Degree

Students who have completed an undergraduate degree other than a Bachelor of Arts, may be admitted to the BA at Faculté Saint-Jean. All requirements detailed in Residence  and Bachelor of Arts [Faculté Saint-Jean]  are to be met.

French Courses

The objective of French language courses is to help the student speak and write clearly and correctly in situations that arise in everyday personal or professional life. The unique intercultural context that is Faculté Saint-Jean provides an ideal environment for such linguistic development.

All students, except those registered in the BEd/AD (see Programs ) and BSc (see Bachelor of Science [Faculté Saint-Jean] ), must complete a minimum of 9 units of French (FRANC), including the final French course related to their program, specifically:

The final program courses presuppose a strong command of all aspects of French (grammatically, syntactically and lexically). It is the student’s responsibility to acquire such command of the language. To support students, Faculté Saint-Jean offers French language and linguistics courses (e.g., FRANC 116 , FRANC 117 , FRANC 216 , FRANC 226 , LINGQ 200 ), and provides access to a French help centre as well as formative workshops available to students during their academic journey.

In order to ensure that students have achieved this goal, FRANC 226  is a prerequisite for FRANC 232 , FRANC 234 , FRANC 236  and FRANC 238 , unless the initial assessment in French (Placement Test and Diagnostic Test at the beginning of the session) indicates that the student may be exempt and proceed directly to the final course. The Vice-Dean (Academic) may also grant exemptions for this course.
