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
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.
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.
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, 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 that you will need
four more courses to fulfill the requirement. This can normally
be done in three semesters.
Important
note:
The university allows only “earned credits” to count
toward the Minor. If you tested out of one or two semesters
of intermediate French, the bypassed credits you received do
not count toward the Minor. You have to take three or six credits
more of 300 and/or 400 level courses.
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.
