The excellence of the 程序 and of the students it attracts can be gauged by the latters’ success in winning postbaccalaureate awards: 每年 but one for the past fifteen years, at least one of our senior majors has been awarded a Fulbright Teaching Assistantship in France. In 2004, five students won this coveted award. Eight recent alumnae are recipients of Rhodes, Watson, Mellon, and Jacob K. Javits Fellowships for subsequent study. 每年, two or three of our majors who are interested in university teaching are accepted by the top doctoral 程序s in French, comparative literature and political science. They often have been admitted to our demanding four-year A.B./M.A. 程序, which is one of few in this country and hence attracts gifted students of French to the College.

Many of our majors apply for entry-level positions in international affairs (e.g., ElfAquitaine, Certainteed) and international relations (e.g.，美国.N.，其中两个A.B./M.A. students have interned or work, and The Center for Reproductive Law and Policy). Many opt to prepare for careers in the international arena by applying to graduate 程序s in international studies or public health and to law school; in the latter area, our graduates have found that the rigorous training they have in dissecting texts and analyzing discourse is excellent preparation. One or two majors each year head to medical school, where the need for bilingual doctors is more and more apparent in this hemisphere and in world health organizations active in Francophone Africa, Eastern Europe and the Far East. Often our graduates have chosen a double major, e.g., French and 政治科学, 法语与经济学, French and 人类学, French and Comparative Literature, or French and a hard science (物理 and 数学 most recently); some opt to minor in a related field (Art 历史) or concentration (国际研究: 经济学, 政治或道德).

Yet one other component of our French 程序 is the well-known and highly selective Institut d’Etudes françaises d’Avignon, our summer institute in France which annually admits five to ten Bryn Mawr students among its 40-50 advanced undergraduates and graduate students from American and European universities.
