Students must complete 20 hours of coursework beyond the beginning level and must include:

FRN 300 Introduction to Literary Texts
FRN 301 French Civilization and Culture I OR
FRN 302 French Civilization and Culture II

Students must also choose one of the following:

FRN 410 Speaking and Writing French
FRN 411 Conversation and Composition

*FRN 412 and one credit of 400-level French may substitute.

Students must also take a French literature course at the 400-level.

Any student beginning French studies at a higher level than French 300 must replace the 300 requirement for the minor with one higher-level three-credit course in French.

If the French placement test allows the student to begin study beyond the 102 and/or 201 level, as many as eight hours may be assumed completed for the purpose of the minor requirement. However, this does not apply to those students in the Teacher Education Department.
