Five types of major are available to the student. All programs are designed individually by the student with the help of a faculty advisor of his or her choosing within the Department. Major programs may be organized historically, around a genre (like poetry,... Read more drama, or prose fiction), or around a period concept or movement (such as the Enlightenment, baroque, classicism and romanticism, or existentialism). Major in French: Major programs consist of ten (minimum) or more courses above the level of FREN 8. Each major must include FREN 10's (prerequisite for all upper-level courses), (1) either FREN 20 or FREN 21; (2) either FREN 22 or FREN 23; and (3) either FREN 24 or FREN 25 (to be completed by the end of the junior year). During their senior year, as their culminating experience, majors must take either FREN 78: Senior Major Workshop or, with special permission, an upper-level French course (numbered FREN 40 or above). Students taking an upper-level French course as their culminating experience are required to supplement the regular reading with extra materials chosen in consultation with the instructor, and to write a research or critical paper of at least twenty pages. French courses numbered 40 and above may be taken for major credit more than once, in cases where the topic is different. Major in Italian: All students wishing to major in Italian must have completed ITAL 8 through the L.S.A +. Program in Rome or ITAL 9 on campus. An Italian major consists of eight courses numbered ITAL 10 or above, at least five of which must be numbered above ITAL 15. The major must include ITAL 10; at least two courses from the pre-1800 period (ITAL 21, ITAL 22, ITAL 23, ITAL 33, ITAL 34); and at least two courses from the post-1800 period (ITAL 15, ITAL 24, ITAL 25, ITAL 35). With the approval of the Italian Major Advisor, ITAL 10 may be counted for credit toward the major twice, provided the course topics are different. Major in Romance Languages: Includes two of the principal Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese). Majors will be required to take ten major-level courses, six of which shall be selected from the primary language, and four from the secondary language. If the primary language is French, the six courses must include FREN 10 and one course from FREN 22, FREN 23, FREN 24, and FREN 25 (to be completed by the end of junior year). During their senior year, as their culminating activity, Romance Language majors (whose primary language is French) must take either FREN 78: Senior Major Workshop or, with special permission, an upper-level French course (numbered FREN 40 or above). Students taking an upper-level French course as their culminating experience are required to supplement the regular reading with extra materials chosen in consultation with the instructor, and to write a research or critical paper of at least twenty pages. If the primary language is Italian, the six courses must include ITAL 10, at least one course from the pre-1800 period, and at least one course from the post-1800 period. Two of the Italian L.S.A.+ courses (ITAL 10 and ITAL 12) may count toward the major. Major in French Studies: The French Studies Major consists of ten courses, with a minimum of six selected from FREN 10's and above, and from one to four from appropriate major-level courses offered by other departments or programs. French Studies Majors must include one course from FREN 20 through FREN 25 (to be completed by the end of the junior year). Two of the French L.S.A.+ and/or F.S.P. courses may count toward the major.
