Generally, a student
thinking about majoring or minoring in French should
begin by taking the following three courses:
-
FRE
3420 Review Grammar Writing 1
-
FRE
3410 Advanced French Conversation
-
FRE
3780 French Phonetics
Students should try to take
their second grammar course (usually FRE 3421) as soon
as possible, since good writing skills are required in
the literature, linguistics, and civilization courses.
Should you have further
questions about majoring in French, or questions about
specific courses in French, contact the Department of
Modern Languages in DM 480 or call 348-2851.
