The department strongly urges its students to improve their language competency and broaden their education through off-campus study in approved programs. Of special interest to students of French and Francophone Studies is the Willamette semester abroad in France, CIDEF in Angers and CUPA in Paris. The CIDEF (Centre International D’Etudes Françaises) is an intensive language and culture program which places students into the appropriate level courses based on their current language ability. The CUPA program (Center for University Programs Abroad) is recommended to highly motivated juniors and seniors interested in individualized programs of study at the leading Parisian universities and institutes.

Credits earned in Willamette University's off-campus study programs, or in other pre-approved foreign study programs, may be substituted for required courses in the French and Francophone Studies Department. Students should consult in advance with the Department Chair to assure such substitution.

The French and Francophone Studies Department also offers an assistant language exchange program in cooperation with the French Ministry of Education.
