Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science - French Concentration

The degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science is conferred on all students who complete this program. Students whose major concentration is applied mathematics, applied physics, astrophysics, biochemistry, biology, biopsychology, chemical physics, chemistry, cognitive and brain Sciences, computer science, engineering psychology, environmental studies (as second major only), geological sciences, geology, mathematics, and physics are eligible to receive a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree. Those majoring in psychology, psychology/clinical and quantitative economics may choose to receive the degree of Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts at the time they complete their degree sheet. Students in all other majors will receive a Bachelor of Arts degree. Students whose multiple majors make them eligible for either a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree may choose between the two when completing their degree sheet. Students may major in French, in Spanish, or in Italian Studies. Our students often complete a second major in a discipline such as International Relations, Economics, Biology, History, Psychology, Fine Arts, I.L.V.S., or another branch of the Humanities or social sciences. The departmental honors program provides the opportunity for especially qualified students in French, in Spanish, or in Italian Studies to write a senior honors thesis (of roughly 50 to 75 pages) in close cooperation with a faculty adviser. The project usually bears two course credits, each of which may count toward the major as a 100-level literature course. FR 22, or equivalent. FR 31 and 32, or equivalent. Four "100-level" courses in literature. Two "100-level" courses to be selected from among the various course offerings in advanced language and culture, including FR 121, 122, 124, 125, and all 100-level French courses unless specified otherwise, or their equivalents, or up to two additional 100-level courses in French literature. One course taught in any language in a related field, or one additional 100-level course in French language and culture or literature.
