French - Major

Nazareth University · Rochester, NY

A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

Program

Award: French - Major
Catalog edition: 2026-2027 Undergraduate Catalog
Checklist type: degree-program
Description: Students in the French Major Program will learn about literary and cultural movements, making connections between literary artifacts and their political, cultural, social, and economic contexts. They will make linkages between the major and other academic disciplines. Majors will have the opportunity to enroll in French courses tailored to their future professions, to do French-based internships, and take community engaged learning classes working with French-speaking community partner institutions. This comprehensive approach prepares students to excel in diverse professional environments where their language and intercultural competencies are highly valued.

FRN 400
French Senior Seminar
Not resolved to a course
Classes taught in English do not count toward NYSED certification in teaching the target language. Teacher candidates must make sure they have 30 credits in the target language. (Note: If a student adds teacher certification in a language after graduation via a master’s degree, they will still need to have 30 credits in the target language. Therefore, anyone thinking about teaching in the future should consider earning the 30 credits in the target language prior to completing their undergraduate degree).
Not resolved to a course
Senior Seminar does not count toward the 30 credits in the target language required by NYSED.
Not resolved to a course
Any course taken abroad in the target language will transfer back as part of the major, regardless of content area: e.g. 3 credits of Psychology taken in France in the French language will come back as 3 credits toward the French major.
Not resolved to a course
Courses in English taken abroad will count towards the major only if the content deals with cultural competency, literature, history, politics, arts, etc. (e.g. 3 credits of French Art History, taught in Rennes, will transfer back as 3 credits toward the French major). There is a maximum total of 6 credits of courses taught in English that can count toward a language major, whether taken abroad or domestically. A list of commonly taken culture courses will be provided when choosing classes from our international partner universities. Note: Courses taken abroad are approved by Program Directors for transfer credit back to Nazareth to fulfill both core and major requirements.
Not resolved to a course
For English-language courses at Nazareth or transferred in from U.S. institutions, specific courses are allowed toward the major in the target language: e.g. RES 389: Holocaust in Italy and France may count toward the French major. These are limited to 6 credits toward the 33 credits of the major, whether taken abroad or domestically.
Not resolved to a course
Students who combine the French major with a second major or minor gain a strong advantage in the job market. Popular aligned fields include Business, Health Professions, Education, Communication Sciences, International and Global Studies, History, Political Science, Legal Studies, Religious Studies, and English, among others.
