Advising and Enrollment

Body

If you're thinking about majoring or minoring in one of our programs, the best place to start is by talking to an advisor. An advisor will help you discuss your academic interests, talk about the the requirements of the major or minor, and walk you through actually declaring the program.

Your first contact is the person who can help you answer questions such as "Should I major in Italian?" or "How will minoring in French enhance my career opportunities?" A meeting with your first contact will help you answer those questions, as well as plan your program, a study abroad experience, and potential courses.

For French, reach out to Jennifer Willging.

For Italian or Romance Studies, reach out to Janice Aski.

Program Description

French Individualized Instruction is an alternative to the classroom track. Students work at their own pace in this program and can register for 2-4 credit hours per semester. Students who complete the full number of credit hours of one course before the end of the semester may proceed to the next level. Our offerings consist of FR 1101, 1102, 1103, and 2101.

Progress is sequential from one credit hour to the next, with proficiency at the level of 80% on oral and written tests required for advancement. Regular activities such as conversations, workbook exercises, and self-tests are part of the program. Writing assignments are also required at the 1103 and 2101 levels.
