General Requirements for both French and Italian Majors
The following requirements apply to both French and Italian majors:
- Students are required to maintain at least a 2.00 GPA in major courses.
- Students may choose courses from three areas: language, literature, and civilization.
- Reading competency in at least one other language is recommended for students interested in graduate school.
- To earn departmental honors, students must major in French or Italian, demonstrate superior performance in departmental courses, and be enrolled in 1000-level French/Italian courses preferably no later than the first term of the junior year. Selection of honors candidates takes place only in the second term of the junior year. During the senior year, two appropriate sequential courses are chosen in consultation with the major advisor, and a research paper must be completed. The paper must be defended before a faculty committee. Honors will be determined by the quality of the paper and the defense, as well as the cumulative grades in all departmental courses counting toward the major.
Requirements
