Please note:

Students must earn 18 credit hours for the French minor regardless of initial course placement¹.
If you have AP or IB French credit, see your French Advisor of instructor. AP exam credit and IB diploma credit are usually awarded automatically by the Office of the University Registrar. Depending on your score, those credits may possibly be used to satisfy certain requirements for the minor. Make sure you inquire about these substitutions early on.
Students must have a 2.0 in-minor GPA in French.
All courses required to complete the French minor are included in the minor GPA calculation. Students must earn a C or better in each course for it to count towards the minor
French courses may also be used to meet certain Pathways requirements. Please see the current Pathways for General Education Guide.
