The goal of the minor in French is to give students a solid grounding and good fluency in the French language and to provide a basic familiarity with important aspects of French culture and society, enabling them to pursue their interests in French and in countries where French is used. The minor is designed for students who have a strong interest in French but cannot fulfill the requirements of the French major. The course Culture and Society (FRENCH 201-0), or equivalent proficiency, is prerequisite for the minor in French.
