THE MINOR IN FRENCH AND FRANCOPHONE STUDIES

 

Description of Minor

 

The French and Francophone Studies minor is designed to allow students to include work in the French language and in French and Francophone culture in their undergraduate program of study.  This minor is particularly relevant for students interested in an international framework for their major studies (African, African American, and Caribbean Studies; Anthropology; Art History; Communications; Economics and Finance; English; Geography; History; Latin American and Latino Studies; Marketing and Management; Musical Studies; Philosophy; Political Science; Sociology; Women’s Studies).

 

Prerequisites for entrance into the minor:

FR 110, 111, and 210 or equivalent must be completed before taking any course in the minor (with the exception of FR 200 which is taught in English).  FR 211 may be taken concurrently with 200-level courses.  Native speakers of French should meet with their advisor to determine alternative courses.
