The Master of Arts (French) at Dalhousie University allows students to specialize in French and Francophone literatures and cultures, linguistics, and second-language studies. The program offers both thesis (independent research guided by a supervisor) and non-thesis (course-based, with capstone) streams. It is designed to develop advanced proficiency in French, critical research skills, and expertise in the chosen area. Students gain teaching experience through teaching assistantships. Graduates move on to careers in education, government, administration, and fields where bilingualism is an asset.
