FRENCH LITERATURE

The French Literature major offers students the opportunity to develop an in-depth knowledge of French literature and critical approaches, and through it, an awareness of French culture and modes of thought and expression.

The French Literature major consists of a minimum of eight courses:

*French 223 and French 224, normally to be completed before the end of the sophomore year and FREN 397 (Advanced Seminar), normally to be taken in the senior year.

* five other courses conducted in French, numbered between French 217 and French 300, only one of which may be a language course.

In consultation with the adviser to the majors, students will select as wide a variety as possible of courses from the following categories: single author, period, genre, problem-oriented, theory, cross-disciplinary. French 397 (Advanced Seminar) and three other courses numbered between 223 and 300 must be taken on the home campus. Two French literature courses taken with W.P.P. may count toward the major.
