The Major

Majors take 11 to 15 courses beyond the introductory level, including junior and senior I.S. All majors are required to take Advanced French, Introduction to Francophone Texts, Studies in Francophone Culture, and Phonetics. Students interested in language should include Applied Linguistics and Translation and Stylistics in their major, while those focusing on civilization and literature should take courses from the historical studies sequence. A major in French should be complemented by courses on France, Western Europe, Canada or West Africa in other departments.
