Required Courses
For a field of concentration in French, the student must complete 26 hours of French beyond the 201 level, including:
Choose four courses from:
Electives
Choose 2 hours from 400-level French courses, not FRN 465.
With permission of the Department, French 493 may be substituted for one or more of these courses. Any student beginning French studies at a higher level than French 300 must replace the 300 requirement for the major with one higher-level, three-credit course in French.
History 415, History of France Since 1815, is suggested as a worthwhile elective. This cognate will not, however, count toward a field of concentration in French. Prerequisite for any of the courses numbered 300 or above: a minimum grade of “B-” in 201 or permission of the instructor. Students choosing French as a field of concentration are advised, but not required, to elect a second language of at least 18 semester hours, including 101 and 102. French majors are required to complete satisfactorily a comprehensive examination during the senior year.
A senior year comprehensive examination is also required.
