French

Prerequisites

Before declaring a French major, a student must be proficient in written and spoken French at a second-year college level. Such proficiency must be demonstrated either:

1. by having completed the entire language sequence up to and including FRENLANG 23;

2. by having scored a 5 or better on either the French language or the French literature Advanced Placement (AP) exams; or

3. by having demonstrated equivalent proficiency on the departmental placement exam offered at the beginning of each academic quarter.

Students not meeting at least one of these criteria are required to complete the portion of the language sequence as deemed necessary by the department before beginning to take courses toward the major.
