The French major consists of a minimum of 36 credits in French, of
which at least 24 must be in courses numbered 200 or higher. Not all
courses above the intermediate level are offered every year; students
should consult their advisers about planning their programs.
A maximum of 6 credits in courses taught in English (those with numbers
in the 240s, 305,306, 360, 391,392, or others if designated) may be
taken for credit toward the French major only under the following
conditions: The student must have completed 50:420:132 or the
equivalent, a substantial part of the work must be done in French, and
the instructor must give permission in advance and determine what work
will be done in French.
Majors in French are urged to include study abroad as part of their
program. Courses in the following fields are recommended as electives:
European history, history of art, music, philosophy, religion, and
other literatures. It is advisable that majors in French take at least
12 credits of a second foreign language, particularly if graduate study
is planned, and those planning to earn teaching certification are
strongly urged to consider a double major or a minor in a second
foreign language.
