French Minor
Description
The French Minor allows you to continue study in the French language and Francophone cultures. For most students, the knowledge gained from the minor supports their disciplinary studies in the major by giving you access to a wider range of resources. Students planning graduate study are particularly encouraged to pursue the minor because it will both enhance your application to graduate school and fulfill the second language required by most graduate programs.
