The French minor consists of at least five full courses, beginning at the level of French 206. Students who enter the minor at a higher level are still required to complete five full courses.

Summary of Requirements
Notes:
FREN 101, 102, and 205 are not counted toward the minor. French-taught Languages across the Curriculum (LxC) sections, which are generally half courses, will count as French-taught credits.
Courses that dedicate at least 30% of the syllabus to French or Francophone content may, with the Chair’s approval, be counted as partial minor credit.
Suggested Course Sequence
French 101-102, 205-206, 301, other 300-level courses in French, followed by 400-level courses. French 301, 309, or 321 is the prerequisite for other courses at the 300-level. Two 300-level courses beyond 301 are the prerequisite for 400-level courses. Other prerequisites may be noted: see the course descriptions below. Advanced Placement
An AP score of 4 or 5, an IB score of 6 or 7, or an SATII score of 628-800 will result in placement in a gateway course and one full course (FREN 300) credited toward graduation and the minor.
Study Away / Tranfer of Credit
