French Minor

The minor in French is designed for students unable to undertake a full nine-course French major. The minor consists of one required course and four electives chosen from across the wide range of courses open to all students in French. Many use it to support their majors in related fields such as global studies, business, history, art history, and anthropology, or to round out their major in the STEM fields. The French minor option is also available to students in some professional schools. Courses for the French minor can be imported through Study Abroad.

Requirements

In addition to the program requirements listed below, students must:

  • take at least nine hours of their minor "core" requirements at UNC–Chapel Hill
  • earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 in the minor core requirements. Some programs may require higher standards for minor or specific courses.
