The 12-credit Certificate in French is a special program that is ideal for undergraduate students who wish to focus on French language but cannot accommodate the 18-credit minor into their schedules. The certificate consists of four courses, beginning at FREN 1004: Intermediate French II or above. Once completed, the certificate will appear as a mention on the student’s transcript.
