Below is an example of how you can finish the program on time even if you start late with the French coursework. This is just an example; there are other ways of doing this. These other ways mainly depend on what language proficiency of students when they enter the program.
The French major consists of a minimum of 30 credit hours (10 courses) at the 2000 level or above in French.
** Please see an advisor to make sure that you are placed at the correct level.
