French and Francophone Studies Major
Each student prepares a program of study in close consultation with a faculty advisor drawn from the Advisory Committee membership. Students should also discuss their choice of a minor or a second major with their advisor. The major in French studies requires a minimum of 33 credit hours in the following areas:
I. Foundations in Language (8)
For students entering at the 200-level of French language, completion of French 201 and 202. Students entering at the 300-level of language study complete 21 credits in III below.
II. Foundations in Culture (9)
These courses introduce students to French and Francophone cultures. FRCH/WLIT 295 (The Francophone World) is required. Beyond this, students select two courses from FRCH 316, 318, 319, and HSTY 310.
III. Elective Related Courses in French and Other Disciplines (15-21)
Students select from courses that focus on French and Francophone cultures in FRCH and other disciplines (art history, political science, history, etc.).
