French Minor

Summary of Requirements

• Minimum of One Gateway Course
• Two Additional 300-Level FREN Courses
• One 400-Level FREN Course
• One Approved French Minor Course (as needed, to meet minimum required for the minor; can be taken at 300 or 400 level in FREN; can include selected courses offered outside of FREN)

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

Three courses, including one 400-level course, must be in residence

Two courses may be counted from approved study abroad programs or an accredited college/university.
