*This is a sample curriculum plan that a real Ohio State student has completed as a double-major in Political Science and French. Please note that this is only a sample to demonstrate an example of what a double-major in these programs may look like; your actual plan of study may vary from this, and you can build your own using Buckeye Degree Planner. Always map out your curriculum plans with the support and advice of your academic advisor.
**Many students enter Ohio State with some college credit. While this is not at all a requirement, please note that this sample plan demonstrates a student placing into French 1103, which can occur by Placement Test, passing the AP French exam, or taking French, including CCP, at another university or community college.
