Program Information
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Students may not use FRE prefix courses to meet any liberal studies requirments.
Some courses may be fulfilled by CLEP or by challenge exam.
You may only take lower-level FRE courses if you have not already taken advanced coursework in these languages. For instance, after you’ve completed 200-level FRE courses, you can’t take FRE courses at the 100 level; after completing a 300-level course you can’t take 100- or 200-level courses.
It is recommended that you pass the Test de Connaissance du Français. This proficiency verification can be invaluable in your post baccalaureate endeavors. See your advisor for details.
Students must earn a grade of C or better in any course they wish to apply towards their major in Modern Languages.
Modern Languages majors are strongly encouraged to complete a second degree or a minor. See your advisor for assistance.
Students must complete at least 9 units at the 400 level in FRE coursework. This can be done through study abroad coursework (FRE 423) and/or NAU FRE coursework (FRE 400 level).

General Information
Progression Plans are intended to provide a general road map related to the sequencing of courses.
For a full description of degree requirements, review the university catalog. To determine what requirements you may have already met through transfer credits, AP/IB courses, or test credits review your degree progress report.
Some courses may have pre-requisites and/or require appropriate placement scores in Mathematics and English. If you do not have the appropriate placement or pre-requisite courses, you may have to take more courses than are presented on the Progression Plan.
Not all classes are offered every term so use caution when changing the sequencing of courses.
For further clarification, refer to the catalog (link provided at the top of this page) or speak with an academic advisor.
