French, B.A. to M.A. Accelerated Program

Saint Louis University's accelerated French B.A. / M.A. program offers qualified French majors the opportunity to begin work toward the Master of Arts in French while completing requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in French, thereby reducing the time needed to earn the master's degree. 

Students may apply up to 15 graduate credits to both the B.A. and M.A. degrees.  For the B.A., those credits will all satisfy major electives.
