FR 349P French Internship

Are you interested in earning upper-division course credit in French through an experiential learning experience? In spring 2022, the Department of French & Italian will offer a French Internship course (FR 349P).

Enrolled students will complete 10-12 hours per week at their internship site (Texas-based francophone or French-affiliated organizations such as the European American Chamber of Commerce or the Délégation du Québec) as well as attend an in-person professional skills seminar at UT taught in French. Through this internship, you can establish professional connections, develop or enhance transferable job skills, practice your French, and earn course credit.

FR 349P is open to all Liberal Arts majors who have met the prerequisite of FR 322E, a minimum 3.0 GPA, and consent of the department.

For more information or to apply, please contact French internship coordinator Heather Pelletier (hpelletier@austin.utexas.edu). In order to begin the process of finding a suitable internship, please contact Dr. Pelletier as soon as possible during the fall 2021 semester.
