French, Minor

Minor in French (352000M)

The minor in French provides a formidable enhancement to any undergraduate major. Students develop their cross-cultural competence and awareness, as well as developing proficiency in all four skills (speaking, reading, writing, and listening). This enables effective and culturally appropriate communication in many informal and formal (professional) settings.
