French Minor Requirements:
A minor in French requires completion of 20 semester credit hours in French, including FRNCH 305 and one other course numbered above 300. Students who test into the program at a higher level must complete 20 credits at the appropriate level for them.

Here is an example schedule for a student who minors in French beginning in French 110:

  1st Semester 2nd Semester Either Semester
First-Year SWS 105
French 110/106**

French 120
Most students should take SWS 105 in the Fall
Sophomore French 215 French 225  
Junior French 305   An additional 300-level French course;
possible study abroad?
Senior    

**FRNCH 105 & 106 are 2-credit options for beginners in French. Students with no prior knowledge of French may take 105 as a low-risk way to “try it out,” and if they want to finish the semester, they can register for 106 before the Module B Add deadline. Students who have had a bit of French may see “110 or 106” as their placement result; these students can begin French at mid-semester by registering for 106.
