Are you wondering what to do after you graduate? If so, it would make sense to study something that will be an asset in life and in the job market. French, being both Canada’s other official language and widely used in the world, would definitely be an asset.

Will you be searching for riches in the Sahara? Studying archival records in Winnipeg? Sailing the South Pacific? Entering Canadian politics? Bartending in Montreal? Hitch-hiking in Europe? For ALL the above, knowledge of French is a great asset.

Why study French in Brandon?

So, you might think, why study French in Brandon instead of some larger University? Here we have small class sizes. If you want to be an unknown face in the crowd, any large University will do, but here your prof will actually know your name, and will have the time (and the inclination!) to help you as an individual. It is the best of both worlds: you pay for University classes, but get more individual attention than is possible at a typical large University.
