Why
Study French ?
Course distribution requirement
for the Major
To
obtain a major concentration in French, a student must complete
27 credits of upper-level French courses in the following way:
6
credits of C&C (Comp. / Conversation)
6 credits of Civ (Civilisation, Culture)
6 credits of Literature
6 credits of other French electives
3 credits of Advanced Grammar
All
in-major courses in French must be passed with a grade of C or better
in order to count toward fulfillment of the major requirements.
In
order for a student to complete the requirements for the major in
timely fashion, it is essential that we draw up a study sequence
together: students should schedule appointments with their faculty
advisor to select a reasonable and feasible course of study. Any
of the full-time French faculty may be chosen as an advisor. We
encourage our advisees to meet with us every semester to review
progress.
All students enrolled in Buchtel College of Arts & Sciences
must also check the requirements for graduation, which can be found
in the University Bulletin.
Requirements for the Minor
in French
The
requirements for a French Minor are 18 credits, including 12 credits
beyond the second year. Your two semesters of intermediate French,
Fr 201 and Fr 202, can give you six of the 18 credits; you need
only 12 more credits at the 300 and/or 400 level. The next courses
after 202 are three credits each, so you will need four more courses
to fulfill the requirement. This can normally be done in three semesters.
Important
note:
The university allows as many as 6 “bypassed credits”
to count toward the Minor. If you tested out of one or two semesters
of intermediate French, the bypassed credits you received will count
toward the Minor.
Note
also:
All courses counting toward the minor must be taken for a grade;
credits earned with CR/NCR will not count toward the Minor.
