French Language and Culture Minor
French Language and Culture Track
The minor in French Language and Culture equips students with linguistic and cultural tools to engage meaningfully with the rich diversity of French-speaking communities around the world and develop intercultural skills highly valued across many professions. Students with prior experience in French language must take a placement test before beginning French courses. Starting with 301, courses introduce students to cultural, linguistic, literary and artistic topics that allow them to develop communication skills at an advanced level.
Minor Requirements
Complete 20 credits in courses numbered 202 and above. Up to 12 credits taken during the semester abroad can be applied toward the minor. Students must consult with French faculty early in the process before choosing a study abroad site in France, because each program has specific requirements. Upon returning from study abroad, students must take a 300-level or higher course to complete the minor. Courses must be completed with a grade of C or higher to count toward the minor.
