A minor in French is available to students pursuing a major in another discipline.  To obtain a minor in French, students must complete a minimum of 24 credits at the upper level.  Of the 24 credits, a minimum of six credits must be in French literature.

Prior to taking their first French course, students are required to write the Nipissing University French placement test.  This test will evaluate the language competency of students and enable them to enroll in the appropriate language level.  Students who have tested at a level equivalent to or greater than FREN 2007 may pursue their French studies in any upper level courses (e.g. FREN 2106FREN 3006 , etc.)  The Faculty of Arts and Science French placement test and the French minor are distinct from the French proficiency requirement for admission to the Faculty of Education.  Students should consult the Faculty of Education for details on those requirements.
