French, Bachelor of Arts

Program of Study

Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements for the French Major:

24 credits of upper-division (courses numbered 300 level and above) plus FRN 434 or 435 are required. Students who are not prepared to enter the 300 level must begin with the Intermediate- or Elementary-level courses as prerequisites. Placement in French courses will be determined by placement exam, waiver exam, or transfer credit. As not every incoming student will possess sufficient proficiency to enter the 300-level courses, the typical program sheet will reflect the program of a student who starts at the intermediate level.

All French majors are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester or summer term of study abroad in a French-speaking nation or territory (typically France or Quebec) at a college or university in which the language of instruction is French. Credits earned during study abroad can be transferred to Franciscan University with departmental approval.
