The French Studies minor at SDSU consists of language, culture, literature and professional courses to prepare students for careers in which they will use French as a language for communication. The minor offers flexibility and can easily be added to any major.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon the completion of the French Studies minor students should be able to:

  • Speak, read and write French at the intermediate-high or advanced level
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the cultures and communication cultures of the Francophone world
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the French civilizations and its cultural products, such as literature, art, government, etc.
