Courses taught in French:
Students are placed into French courses according to the results of their placement test.
All course offerings are taught in French unless labeled otherwise. Students must place at the 200 level (FFW) or have completed fourth-semester French (420:132 or 420:137) to take 200-level courses. Courses taught in French fulfill one or more Core Curriculum requirements (SAS, SEBS, Mason Gross, School of Management and Labor Relations, SCI, and Bloustein School). A course used to meet core goals may also be used to fulfill a major or minor requirement
Courses taught in English:
There is no prerequisite needed.
French majors may count one (1) elective course taught either in English in the Department of French or taught outside the department on a topic related to the arts, culture, literature, or history of French-speaking areas (with prior written approval of the Undergraduate Director). Up to two (2) courses in English may count towards the minor. For complete major and minor requirements, please go to majoring & minoring in French.
