Program provides training in the fundamental skills of understanding, speaking, reading and writing the language, and increases one’s familiarity with the French language. From a vocational standpoint, the curriculum will provide a student with skills useful in translating, interpreting, teaching, linguistic or literary research, music, foreign trade, or missionary work. The major requires 26 units in French, unless the student has completed two years of French in high school (with a “C” average or better). In this case, the department will determine the courses necessary to complete the requirements.
