Courses in the French Department have a twofold objective: to perfect fluency in the written and spoken language, and to develop an understanding and appreciation of the literature and culture of France and French-speaking countries.
New students who have already given evidence of advanced training in French (Advanced Placement Examination with a score of 4 or 5; CEEB examinations with a score of 781) are automatically exempted from the language requirement. All other new students who intend to satisfy their requirement in French will, depending upon their preparation, be placed immediately in the appropriate language course or be asked to take a placement test offered at the start of each semester (see College Calendar for exact dates). Those receiving a sufficiently high grade will be exempted from the language requirement. All others will be placed in French language courses according to their score. For additional information about language courses, students should consult the department chair.
Students who have satisfied the language requirement may immediately enroll in literature and culture courses (BC 3021, BC 3022, BC 3023, BC 3024); and advanced language courses (BC 3006-3019).
In cooperation with Columbia College, the department offers a program at Reid Hall in Paris open to majors and non-majors. Visit the Study Abroad website for more information.
