B.S. in French and Francophone Studies
Applied French Option

This option is designed to allow students to combine fluency in French with other academic disciplines. The Applied French option develops basic skills in French (speaking, understanding, reading, and writing) as well as a basic knowledge of French literature and culture. At the same time, it provides a concentration in a professional area in which a command of French can be particularly relevant or useful. Courses in French culture and civilization are essential to all B.S. options, and students are encouraged to participate in one of the University's Education Abroad programs (see below).

III. SUPPORTING/RELATED AREA (18 credits)

Select 18 credits in related areas such as Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management; Linguistics; Sociology; Economics; Science Technology and Society; or in another professional area where competency in French is desirable. The courses are to be selected in consultation with an advisor. At least six credits of such courses must be at the 400-level.

Students may obtain equivalent credits for one or more of the required courses by participating in the University's education abroad programs in Aix, Avignon, Paris, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Brussels, Besançon, Québec, and Sénégal.

Note: Common courses for all major options are FR201, FR202, FR331, FR332, FR351, and FR352, and one French linguistics course. If you are uncertain which option to choose, begin with the core courses and then make your decision when you see where your interests really lie.
