French Requirements

French Major (8 courses above 300):
Eight courses above 300 constitute a major in French.  These courses must include FREN 305, 328, 349 or 350, 375, 400 and three electives.  French majors are required to complete at least one academic semester in a country where French is spoken.  A minimum cumulative St. Norbert College G.P.A. of 2.5 is required for study abroad although individual programs may have a higher G.P.A. requirement.

French Academic Minor (4 courses above 300):
Four courses above 300 constitute a minor in French.  These must include FREN 305, 375, 400 and one elective.

French Teaching Minor (4 courses above 300):
A teaching minor is available only to students in education.  Four courses above 300 constitute a minor.  For French these courses are FREN 350, 375, 390 (taken during the immersion experience), and one elective.  In addition, all students seeking certification to teach a foreign language must complete a language immersion experience in an educational setting of at least 6-8 weeks in duration in a country where the target language is regularly spoken.

French Language Certificate: A French Language Certificate is available in that recognizes successful demonstration of intermediate-level proficiency in the language for students that choose not to pursue a language major or minor. The Certificate recognizes competency equivalent to the successful completion of the 101-204 sequence with an overall grade point average of 3.00 (B) in the language courses counting toward the certificate. The course that demonstrates successful completion of the Certificate must be taken at St. Norbert through the Modern Foreign Languages curriculum and the student must earn a 3.00 (B) or higher in this course. A student who places beyond the 204 level (e.g. 304 or 305) still must complete one class on campus and receive a grade of 3.0 (B) or higher in that class. A student who might be interested in a Certificate could take four classes (101,102, 203, 204) at St. Norbert College. However, students who might be interested in a Certificate could place into 203 or 204 and would only have to take one or, at most two classes. (Effective for students entering the College in Fall 2006 or later.)
