Program Information

The French minor at SDSU is a valuable option to complement any major, especially in people-centered professions that require constant interaction with individuals from various backgrounds. The minor offers flexibility, can easily be added to any major, is communication-oriented, and can be earned quickly when combined with a study-abroad or foreign internship experience.
