Following completion of the language sequence, majors are required to take at least two 300-level courses and three 400-level courses, one of which must be taken during the senior year. The department recommends that students who plan to undertake graduate work in French complete all the courses in the 421, 422, 423, 424 sequence and, in their senior year, pursue honors work. All majors are urged to take one or more courses in Comparative Literature.

In some cases, approved courses other than those listed above (including those taken at other institutions) may be used to satisfy the requirements for the major.
