Eligibility

The ideal APA student is bright and hard-working, internationally minded with a passion for culture and a desire to explore French and francophone life.

We know that several factors play into a student’s ability to learn a second language (or third, or fourth!). The number of semesters of college French should be seen as a guideline when determining which program to participate in. If you are unsure which program to apply for, contact us and we will be happy to assist you in your decision-making process.
