Admission
Any student who has graduated with a 3 or 4 year undergraduate degree may apply for admission, subject to prerequisites and general university admission requirement. A student may not pursue both the Diplôme de français pratique and a French module. All the French courses of the Diploma program may be credited toward other undergraduate programs.
