French

专业介绍

The French program at UW–Madison offers students opportunities for cultural and literary learning about the French-speaking world through dynamic, in-class experiences and extracurricular components such as the French Club, Pi Delta Phi (the National French Honor Society), the French House (an immersion residence hall and cultural center), and with French and Francophone cultural events in and around Madison.

Students intending to major in French or complete the French certificate enter the program at the appropriate level depending on their language proficiency. If you have previous experience in the French language, please refer to Testing and Evaluation Services to register for the placement test.

The majority of UW–Madison French major or certificate students complete their requirements through a combination of courses taken on campus and abroad with a UW–Madison-sponsored program.

Students have the option to take a class for Honors at almost all levels. For more information, please see the department website and/or consult the undergraduate advisor.
