The department offers courses in French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Romance Linguistics. The primary goals of the undergraduate program are (1) mastery of the language; (2) an understanding and interpretation of Romance literature and culture; and (3) preparation for teaching or other careers requiring specialized linguistic knowledge and skill.

• The study of a second language expands the outlook and interests of the educated citizen. By providing insight into the social and intellectual life of other peoples, language study fosters humanistic attitudes and cultivates a spirit of tolerance and understanding.
  
  
• Students supplement their training in classes by use of the department's language laboratory facilities and by participation in extra-curricular language activities.
  
  
• The Language Requirement for the A.B. or B.S. Degree. Students who have previous training or experience in a particular language are required to take a placement test before electing a course in that language. Students who demonstrate a fourth-term proficiency are certified to have fulfilled the LS&A language requirement. Other students are placed in courses according to their demonstrated degree of competence and satisfy the LS&A language requirement by successful completion of French 232, Italian 232, Portuguese 232, Spanish 232, or the equivalent. Students with previous background in or exposure to a Romance language are encouraged to continue study of that language through the freshman and sophomore years. Once the study of a language has begun in residence, then fourth-term language study must be taken in residence.
  
  
• Language Laboratory. There is a language laboratory on the second floor of the Modern Language Building which gives students an opportunity to improve their command of the spoken language by listening to recordings of native speakers and by oral/ aural exercises and drills. Certain courses offered by the department require regular use of the language laboratory facilities.
  
  
• French House. The department sponsors a Maison Française where students can improve their spoken French. The Maison Française provides room and board for both men and women. Various cultural and social events are scheduled throughout the year. For further information, contact the University Housing Office.

French and Francophone Studies

May be elected as a departmental concentration program

• Concentration in French allows students considerable flexibility in developing a program of study leading to competence in the French language and basic familiarity with French civilization and literature.
  
  
• Prerequisites to Concentration. French through French 232.
  
  
• Concentration Program. A minimum of 30 credits in French and Francophone Studies courses numbered 240 and above. Of these, a minimum of 18 credits must be numbered 300 or above, or equivalent. A maximum of two courses in the concentration may be chosen from courses taught in English with language prerequisites. A minimum of 18 of the required 30 credits must be taken either in residence or through a study abroad program affiliated with the University of Michigan. French concentrators are encouraged to elect courses related to their field of study outside of the department.
  
  Students pursuing graduate studies in French should be aware that most graduate programs expect substantial preparation in literature. For this reason, students interested in earning a graduate degree in French should give particular consideration, in choosing their courses, to French 270, 362-369, 378, and 400-level courses in literature and culture.
  
  
• Honors Concentration. Qualified students may be admitted to a program of advanced study in the beginning or middle of the junior year (or at the beginning of the senior year following participation in a junior year in France program), leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors in French. Admission to senior level Honors work in French is by application only (forms are available in the Honors Office). The Honors Committee expects applicants to demonstrate superior ability for their level in both oral and written French, and to present evidence of serious interest in research.
  
  
• The normal concentration requirements in French and Francophone Studies must be completed along with the following:

1. Three additional credits in French and Francophone Studies at the level of 300 or above.
2. Composition of a thesis, in French, incorporating the results of individual research, the minimum length being 30 pages; A discussion of the thesis and of an agreed upon set of related readings with the student's faculty advisor and one other faculty reader.
3. A grade point average of at least 3.5 in all courses, as well as in all French and Francophone courses is required for admission and for graduation with Honors in French.
   
   Intending students should contact the Honors advisor toward the end of their junior year, and fill out an application form obtainable in the Honors Office (1228 Angell Hall).

Option A is recommended for students with primary interests in literary studies. Option B is recommended for students interested in linguistics or interdisciplinary studies. Both options provide students with opportunities to develop language proficiency and to expand their knowledge of Hispanic cultures.
  
  
• Prerequisites to concentration: Spanish 101 through 275(361) and 276(362). For eligible students, 290(307) - Spanish for U.S. Latinos - may be substituted for 275(361).

• Residence requirement: A minimum of 15 of the required 30 credits must be taken either in residence or through a study abroad program affiliated with the University of Michigan.
  
  
• Honors Concentration. Qualified students holding a cumulative GPA of 3.5 and Spanish Concentration GPA of 3.5 may be admitted to the Honors program in Spanish at the beginning of the junior year. Admission to the program is by application to the Honors undergraduate advisor. Students are required to take Span 391 and 392 Junior Honors Courses (as two of the three required courses for Spanish concentration), and Span 490 and 491 Senior Honors Courses (as two of the six required 400-level courses for Spanish concentration) during their senior year. Spanish Honors courses may be taken as independent studies with Spanish Faculty or as additional requirement agreed upon with the professors of Spanish 371 through 388, so that students register in the courses as Span 391 or 392. Upon completion of Span 391 and 392 the students enroll in Senior Honors 490 and 491 during both terms of their senior year, and seek out a member of the Spanish professorial staff to guide their studies. Honors seniors complete two principal tasks under the guidance of their tutor: intensive preparation for the Honors oral examination, and the writing of a senior thesis, normally produced in Span 491. The thesis (a forty-page essay) is submitted and the oral examination taken near the end of the senior year. In the oral examination the thesis must be defended by the Honors concentrator. Honors students are expected to complete the requirements for concentration in Spanish.
  
  
• Advising. The concentration advisors are Professor L. López-Grigera, J. Highfill, F Casa, F. Aparicio, J Rabasa and C. Brown. Professor L. Carbón Gorell is the advisor for candidates for a secondary school teaching certificate. Appointments through the department secretary in 4108 MLB.
