Major in Romance Languages

French or Italian can be either the primary or secondary language in a Romance Languages major (the major can also include Spanish or Portuguese as a primary or secondary language).

Romance Languages:

French as primary language: students take FREN 5 and FREN 6 followed by four seminars in French, for a total of six courses. One course may come from the roster of FREN classes offered in English, though students who elect such a course must take an x-hour in French and do all reading and written work in French. When French is the primary language of the major, students do their culminating experience in French, either through an independent study with a professor or through additional reading and writing in an upper-level FREN seminar. 

Italian as primary language: students take six courses in Italian beyond ITAL 3. These must include either ITAL 8 on the Rome LSA+ or ITAL 9 on campus, ITAL 10, and four additional courses selected from among those offered by the department. One course may come from the roster of ITAL classes offered in English, though students who elect such a course must take an x-hour in Italian and do all reading and written work in Italian. When Italian is the primary language of the major, students do their culminating experience in Italian, either through an independent study with a professor or through additional reading and writing in an upper-level ITAL seminar. 

French as secondary language: students take FREN 5, FREN 6, and then an additional two seminars, for a total of four courses. As with other courses of study that include French, participation in the LSA+ in Toulouse or the FSP in Paris will give the student three courses towards the Romance Languages major.

Italian as secondary language: students take four courses in Italian beyond ITAL 3: ITAL 8 or 9, ITAL 10, and two additional seminars. As with other courses of study that include Italian, participation in the LSA+ in Rome will give the student three courses towards the Romance Languages major.
