French B.A.

37 credit hours

The Bachelor of Arts in French provides students the education and training necessary to meet the certification qualifications to teach French in the State of Missouri as well as the content and experience in the language, culture, and literature necessary for graduate study and to work in a wide variety of other-than academic fields such as government, arts/media/entertainment, industry and commerce, travel and tourism, interpretation or translation, educational (aside from teaching) and other social occupations, and health services, as well as the unexpected professional opportunities that sometimes arise.

A major in French requires 37 credit hours of coursework beyond the Intermediate French II (FRE 20200) level or equivalent proficiency. Of these 37 credit hours, 16 will be taken in France.
