This graduate practicum in French offers advanced experiential learning in an area related to the student's professional or research interest.

A student will apply for a practicum following the instructions provided in its description. The application dossier will be submitted to the Associate Chair, Graduate Studies, and will normally contain at least 1) a letter of intention; 2) a resume in French. Typically, the supervising Faculty member will conduct an interview with the student(s) applying.
