MAJORS: Majors in French and Francophone Studies are required to take ten courses above the intermediate level (1122). Once a sequence of language courses has begun, a student may not revert to a lower level course. This does not apply to upper level courses (above 1132). French majors must satisfy a one-semester research requirement by enrolling in either French 2001 or French 2002.

MINORS: For a minor in French four courses above the intermediate level in the language are required, including French 2001 or 2001 or the equivalent.

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures also offers literature courses in English translation. Such courses may be used to fulfill a Humanities elective; however, they may not be used toward credit requirements for a language major or minor. An upper level literature course in any language taught in the Department may satisfy the advanced literature core requirement. At the same time, it may also count for the minor in a language. However, it may not count for both the advanced literature requirement and the French and Francophone Studies major, except for double majors.

Students may obtain up to six credits through the Villanova summer program abroad in France.
