French
In an ever-more connected world, the capability to communicate in several languages is an essential asset. Among the various languages spoken around the globe, French is particularly prominent. With more than 300 million speakers across five continents, French is not only a stunning and romantic language but also a significant resource in global diplomacy, trade, education, and culture. It is a language that bridges continents, cultures, and careers. The sun never sets on the French language.

- If you've had three years/three credits or more of high school study OR completed your first semester of dual-enrollment with a C or better, start 112 in that language.
