You'll also choose elective courses focused on the culture, history, and art of France; elective courses are taught in French to complement and enhance your language learning. Elective course options increase in proportion to your language level, but all are designed to expand your language skills while expanding your knowledge of French culture.Program Structure
Each semester, you'll enroll in a language course at your level. Intermediate-level students will also choose 1 translation or vocabulary course and 3 elective courses, all taught in French. Advanced-level students will also choose 1 translation or vocabulary elective, 1 written or oral expression course, and 3 elective courses, all taught in French.
Contact hours for language courses vary, but generally range from 90-150 contact hours/6-10 credits per semester. Elective courses meet for 22-30 contact hours/1.5-2 credits per semester. You may earn 14.5-16.5 credits (up to 246 contact hours) per semester, and 29-33 credits (up to 492 contact hours) per academic year.
