<p>Thanks, everyone, for many great suggestions and discussion. My son is a very focused student, and after much serious consideration, has settled on teaching French, with Spanish as a second language. Knowing him as I do, he probably won’t change his major. French language & culture is one of his passions. We live near Chicago, so IU is already on our list. I attended a large state university in the 70’s, majored in chemistry, but didn’t finish my French minor in part because I was disappointed in the quality of the offerings in the upper level courses. By using this forum, I hope to be able to guide my son toward some of the best FL programs. Many of the schools you have suggested are already on his list for application in the fall. We’ll look into some of the others that we hadn’t considered.</p>
