French: Recommended Three-Year Path

Notes:

• For a student who tests in at a lower level, additional summer classes would need to be taken and some adjustments to our requirements would be made.
• If a student studies abroad for 1 semester, and earns 12 to 15 credits in French, the plan below would be adjusted accordingly.
• This leaves room for another major. In this plan, there are 29 electives for a total of 57 credit hours.
• Student will earn the TI exemption with 9 upper level FR credits that qualify.
• If you have completed “dual enrollment” courses during high school, AP/I.B./CLEP exams, or college courses, we will help you find the appropriate Butler course(s) and potentially earn Butler placement credits (BLPC). Placement credits allow you to combine other majors and/or minors with your Modern Languages degree or take general electives you’re eager to experience. BLPC are awarded based upon your Butler exam result via permission of the placement Modern Languages department chair. or the course level in which you begin.
• For BLPC, you can request these 200-level elective credits after completing, each with a “C-” or better, two 300-level Butler courses in the same language. How it works:
  • Begin in 203: you’ll be eligible for three 200-level elective BLPC
  • Begin in 204: you’ll be eligible for  six 200-level elective BLPC
  • Begin in 300-level Skills: you’ll be eligible for  nine 200-level elective BLPC
