The Minor in French Education connects the learning of the French language and cultures to the training necessary to become a passionate and competent French teacher. Its emphasis on interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, and immersion education allows students to creatively articulate meaningful links that they can share with their future students.
This minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs at Michigan State University other than the Bachelor of Arts Degree in French Education. With the approval of the department and college that administer the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.
Students who plan to complete the requirements of the minor should consult the Department of Romance and Classical Studies and have their program of study approved in advance and in writing.
