Academic Bridge - Bachelor of Arts - World Languages and Culture - Francophone Studies

Program Description

Academic Bridge Program will provide you with extra academic support for one semester prior to gaining full admission to Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM). During the Bridge semester, you will be enrolled in courses designed specifically for "bridging the gap" to a continued and successful college career. Bridge courses consist of a University Success course, as well as a Math and/or English course. Throughout the semester, faculty and staff on our Bridge team will assist you by teaching you skills needed for success in college. The Bridge Program connects you with campus resources so that you can thrive at AUM.

The ability to work with people from other cultures is becoming ever more important, and speaking a foreign language will give you a head start in almost any field: international business, law, journalism, government, the military and more. This concentration enables the student to develop the five skills of speaking, reading, writing, listening and cultural competency in French. This option has a culture  track (more internationally related course work in the humanities and political science) and a trade track (more courses in international economics and business). Students benefit from a wide array of study-abroad opportunities.
