Course Descriptions
All courses are taught entirely in French:
Lower Division Language Courses
- FREN 001 - Introductory French
- FREN 002 - Continued Introductory French
- FREN 033 - Intermediate French
- All students wishing to enroll in French language courses must take the Language Placement Test. The test is offered online and can be taken during the summer before fall registration as well as anytime during the academic year. Only those students who have had no more than one semester of high school French are exempt from taking this examination and may enroll in French 1 (Introductory French). Placement test results are valid for one year; thereafter it must be retaken.
- Students who place into French 44 will satisfy the language requirement by passing a French Proficiency test administered by the faculty of the Intercollegiate French program. All other students will satisfy the language requirement by passing French 33 or equivalent.
- Students are strongly encouraged to fulfill the language requirement in an uninterrupted sequence. In all cases, however, the language requirement must be completed by the end of the first semester of the senior year.
- For all language courses, attendance at a minimum of three French tables at Scripps or CMC and three French Club-sponsored films are required during the semester.
