"From the moment I stepped onto campus, every professor, staff member, and student I encountered treated me with such genuine warmth and respect, as if I were already a valued member of their community. Despite not having officially joined the EIU family, I immediately felt a deep sense of belonging. The atmosphere was one of comfort and inclusivity, where everyone seemed genuinely invested in my success and well-being."Abbey McCordFrench | Class of 2025

At EIU, you'll develop the ability to communicate across languages and cultures while gaining a deeper understanding of French-speaking communities around the world. You'll strengthen your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills while exploring culture, literature, history and contemporary issues.
