2018-2019 Undergraduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
French, BA with grad track option leading to French, MA
|
|
The Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures offers a grad track pathway through which students can complete a bachelor’s degree in four years and then earn a master’s degree in the fifth year. This is for highly motivated French majors who have maintained a high GPA in advanced French courses. Students must apply to this program during their junior year; at the time of application, students must have already completed 12 advanced hours in French.
Students will not be fully admitted to the Toulouse Graduate School until the bachelor’s degree has been earned; however, students may be conditionally admitted to this Grad Track Pathway after successfully completing 75 credit hours. Students conditionally admitted to this Grad Track Pathway must complete 90 credit hours before enrolling in Pathway courses.
