Department of French and Italian

In all French civilization and Italian civilization courses, both lectures and readings are in English. In French 301, lectures are in English and readings are in French. All other courses are conducted primarily in the foreign language.

Students with knowledge of either language must take appropriate steps to determine at which level they may begin work at the University. Students with transfer credit for college work done at another institution may start at the next higher level here. All other students with knowledge of either language are required to take the placement test administered by the Center for Teaching and Learning for placement in French or the departmentally administered classification test for placement in Italian.

Students are urged to consult departmental advisers about any problem either with placement or with credit by examination.

Students who wish to continue their study of French or Italian may consult departmental advisers about appropriate upper-division courses and prerequisites.

The information in parentheses after a course number is the Texas Common Course Numbering (TCCN) designation. Only TCCN designations that are exact semester-hour equivalents of University courses are listed here. Additional TCCN information is given in Appendix A .
