A French course taught in English is a course in which a majority of the content focuses on French or Francophone culture, literature or history, but does not give instruction primarily in French.
- French majors have the option of counting two French courses taught in English toward major requirements
- French minors have the option of counting one French course taught in English toward minor requirements
- French courses taught in English count toward the major/minor as either 200 or 300 level elective credit. The level of each approved course is indicated below.
- If you believe that a course meets the guidelines to count as French course taught in English but does not appear on this list, please obtain a syllabus for the course and contact rll.mailbox@umich.edu. The French section head will review the course and you will be notified of the decision.
The French section offers French courses taught in English, including:
- French 240, 241, 244, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 402, 444, 453
- A course which is cross-listed with French but taught in translation also counts as a French course taught in English (History, Comparative Literature, etc.)
The following courses, offered outside of RLL, have been identified as additional French courses taught in English. Please make sure to note the specific course title/topic.
