French Major (B.A.)

For a major in French, 28 credits in French  are required in courses numbered 211 or higher. Students whose French proficiency is beyond FREN 211  and FREN 212  will take all their courses at the 300-400 levels; such students will not receive credits for FREN 211  and FREN 212 .

It is strongly recommended that six credit hours be taken abroad in a country where the language of study is spoken. These six credit hours can be taken to fulfill required or elective courses in the major with instructor approval.

Students who successfully complete FREN 111  and FREN 112  or demonstrate proficiency at the FREN 112  level or above, will be eligible for admission to the major.

For information about using French studies in careers, graduate work, and combined with other academic areas, please consult a faculty member in the Department of Modern Foreign Languages.
