## The Minor Program

The minor program develops proficiency in all four language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—and acquaints students with the intellectual and cultural contributions of the French-speaking world through the study of its literature, traditions, and institutions.

### The Program

The department encourages its students to work closely with the academic advisor in designing a minor tailored to their needs and interests within the broad requirements prescribed by the program and to avail themselves of the guidance of an excellent teaching faculty.

### Minor Advisor

Consult the department office.

### Education Abroad

With the approval of a minor advisor, applicable courses taken abroad may be accepted in the minor programs.

### Prerequisite Credit

Credit will not normally be given for a course if it is the prerequisite of a course already successfully completed. Exceptions can be made by the department chairperson only.
