A little late, but thank you for the information! I actually did know abut la Maison Française and am happy to say that I will be living there next year!

Me! I'll be moving from California to do the Profesional French Master's Program

Oh, I didn't know you could complete FAFSA before being accepted into a program! Thanks!

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding the GRE Fee Reduction Certificate that maybe some of you could clarify. I searched the forums before making this post and asked ETS directly via email but they were not helpful since they basically copied and pasted what they had posted on their website... Anyways, I am applying for a graduate program this Fall 2014 but before I do so I would, obviously, like to take the GRE. I would also like to request the GRE Fee Reduction Certificate because it would help me cover the cost. ETS' website states that in order to qualify for the waiver one must complete FAFSA. (This does not make sense to me: Why would I apply for a program first and then take the GRE?) In my case, I have not completed the FAFSA because I have not yet applied to the program. That being said, I would like to take the GRE before I apply so is there any way around this? What about using past financial aid from my undergrad years as proof of financial need? I contacted the grauduate program but they directed me to my undergrad institution, and when I contacted them they said I needed to complete my FAFSA hence my question... I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Thank you, Francophile1. I will surely look into those programs...

Hello everyone! I am interested in getting a Master's in French but would like to use it for a career outside of academia. Not sure on what exactly, but I am certain I do not want to be language teacher nor a French research professor. Anways, the University of Wisconsin, Madison's Professional French Program sounds like my ideal program because of its emphasis on French language for careers outside the classroom (like business, translation, government affairs, etc.), its flexibility, and a required internship in a French speaking country... However, since I would not like to put all my eggs in one basket, I was wondering if anyone knows of any other similar programs out there? Thanks in advance
