FR 606 – Research or Professional Practicum

This graduate practicum in French offers advanced experiential learning in an area related to the student's professional or research interest. During the Fall term, a list of potential practicums in the French Studies department will be created. Students interested in pursuing a practicum must contact the Associate Chair, Graduate Studies to consult this list.

Each practicum description will include:1) an overview of the general project; 2) a description of the involved tasks; 3) an expected timetable. Normally, a practicum will involve 8 hours of work every week for 10 weeks and will be evaluated by the Associate Chair, Graduate Studies (evaluation will consist of an oral exchange around week 5 or 6 and of a final report submitted during week 11 or 12).

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.

If a student wishes to make a practicum outside the French Studies department, the application dossier submitted to the Associate Chair, Graduate Studies will include the organizing unit, the on-site supervisor, the nature of the professional or research work, and the relevance to the French graduate program. The following steps will be determined with the Associate Chair, Graduate Studies.
