French Studies - Arts
The Department of French Studies offers courses in three curricular areas: language, linguistics and literature. The language sequence is a required series of language-skills courses which prepare the student for further study in the areas of linguistics and literature. AS/FR 1080 6.00 is a prerequisite to all other 2000-level courses in the department. Students who have successfully completed AS/FR 1030 6.00 or its equivalent will be eligible to take AS/FR 1080 6.00. Students enrolling in a Faculty of Arts French course for the first time must complete a French language questionnaire prior to enrolment. Failure to do so will result in denial of access to the course, and/or de-enrolment from the course. In order to proceed to any French studies course offered at a higher level, students must obtain a minimum grade of C in each course taken within the language sequence. Students majoring or minoring in French studies must take all levels of the language sequence courses unless they are exempted from one or more levels on the recommendation of the department. To this core of language-skills courses, majors will add further courses in French linguistics and in French literature. Students are advised that their choice of courses is also governed by departmental regulations specifying the numbers and levels of courses taken to satisfy the various program requirements. Students are encouraged to meet with the undergraduate program director. The Department of French Studies offers the following French language courses for non-majors/minors: AS/FR 1020 6.00, AS/FR 1030 6.00, AS/FR 1060 6.00, AS/FR 2060 3.00, AS/FR 2061 3.00 and AS/FR 3060 3.00. Students may take one academic session (which cannot be their graduating year) at a francophone university. In the case of students entering this program after the completion of 24 credits, a grade of B+ in AS/FR 1080 6.00 is the minimum requirement. For students entering the program after the successful completion of 48 credits, a grade of B+ in AS/FR 2081 3.00 or AS/FR 2082 3.00 is the minimum requirement. A minimum grade of B in either AS/FR 2100 6.00 or AS/FR 2200 6.00 is also required. In all cases, the student must have a sessional average of 6.00 (B) or above. Detailed information concerning this extra-mural year is available from the Department of French Studies or York International. For graduate programs in French Literature, several periods of French literature may be required. For graduate programs in French Linguistics, for certain French teaching programs (BEd, MEd, M.A.T.), or for schools of translation and interpretation, an undergraduate concentration in French linguistics may be favoured. Degree students may take more than the minimum number of required courses at any level. Specialized Honours BA Program Students will take at least 60 credits in French studies, including:
