A degree in a foreign language can open up opportunities that you may have never known existed. There are several careers directly related to foreign language majors, such as teaching, interpreting and translating, however there are even more careers where foreign language skills are extremely useful and sometimes almost even necessary. Do you already have a major? Then double major in languages. A language major can be combined with any other major offering you a competitive advantage in your profession. The course of studies leading to a major in French requires no fewer than 30 hours beyond the general studies requirement (FLF 201). These hours must include FLF Intermediate 202/252, 303/251, 304, 306, 307, 308, two additional elective courses at the 300 level, one Afro-French Literature (432,433,434), and one additional elective course at the 400 level. Substitutions may be approved by the department. For honors students FLF 251 replaces FLF 303. Students planning to certify as French teachers at the elementary or secondary level should also take FLF 492: Applied Linguistics and FLF 491: Methods of Teaching Modern Foreign Languages.
