<p>warblersrule, your numbers are outdated.</p>
<p><a href=“https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/french/alumni/alumni2000[/url]”>Alumni 2000-2009 | Alumni | Amherst College;
<p>In a given year, Amherst graduates as many as ~40 French majors, as few as ~20. Granted, it doesn’t compare with the ~75 who major in Economics every year, but it’s still plenty, given that only ~400 students graduate from Amherst every year. So, during “good” years, as many as 10 percent of Amherst students graduate with French degrees.</p>
<p>It’s also the only department, besides Smith College’s, that has an exchange program with Paris’ ENS, France’s most prestigious research university.</p>
