Prospective Student

<p>I was born in Canada and am a Canadian citizen. However, I have have lived most of my life in the U.S and all of my education has been been here too. My question is, Do I have to be able to speak French? If so, is it only for certain programs or is it for most classes in general? More specifically, Could I study law here and not be able to speak French for either the undergraduate program or graduate program?</p>

<p>No. If you do, it’s for certain programs. Yes.</p>

<p>The Faculty of Law at McGill is bilingual. A knowledge of French is required but not full fluency. You cannot apply to Law directly from high school:</p>

<p>You would not be accepted into Law at McGill if you have no French language skills. You will be tested by interview to see what level of fluency exists. As Tom points out, applicants to McGill’s law school will need an undergrad degree.</p>

<p>^ Well, not quite an undergrad degree. Just 60 credits of one (but the chances of you being one of those is slim).</p>

<p>It’s extremely rare for anyone to be admitted without a degree, other than the small number of spots reserved for CEGEP students.</p>
