Introduction
Please click here to see Modern Languages department information.
Students wishing to improve their linguistic skills as well as their knowledge of Francophone literature and culture may choose this major.
The French program offers courses in advanced language, linguistics, literature, civilization, culture and business, all taught exclusively in French. A minor is also offered. All French majors are strongly encouraged to participate in a study abroad program. Please see your French department advisor for information about opportunities to include study abroad as part of your major.
These degree requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their major advisor and CLAS advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.

Program Requirements
- The minimum grade acceptable in a French course applied to a French major is C (2.0).
- The grade point average in all courses applied to a French major at CU Denver must be 2.5.
- No courses taken on a pass/fail basis may be credited toward a French major.
- All courses counting toward the French major must be taught in French (FREN 3200 does not count toward the major).
- All students majoring in French must complete 30 semester hours of upper-division courses taught in French (3000-level or higher). A minimum of 18 of those semester hours must be taken from the faculty in French at CU Denver.
- Courses taken at other institutions while a student is enrolled at CU Denver may be applied to the major only with departmental approval before enrollment in those courses.
- Students with advanced placement credits from high school must see a French advisor about course equivalencies. The Department of Modern Languages does not accept CLEP credits.
- Upon declaring a major in French, each student will be assigned to a faculty advisor with whom the student should consult at least once per semester thereafter. It is especially important that students have their transcripts reviewed by their advisor before enrolling in their final 30 credit hours at CU Denver. Failure to do so may result in delay of graduation.
- During their final semester in the language, French major students participate in an oral proficiency interview and take a written outcomes assessment exam to measure their level of proficiency and mastery of key concepts.
