Minor in French
The French minor is designed to provide students with two essential components of a well-rounded education in French. First, students improve their knowledge of the language itself through conversation, composition, and advanced grammar. They are also introduced to the basics of translation. Second, with survey courses in literature and civilization, they will learn about the cultural aspect of learning a foreign language.
The course offerings in French are perfect for students who know enough French (or have completed the basic language courses) and want to keep on practicing it. In an era of global economy and from a professional point of view, this constitutes the ideal complement to any specialty, as proficiency or fluency in a foreign language will open many doors in all kinds of careers worldwide.
