Minor in French

About the Minor

In our globalized world, intercultural and multilingual communication is an indispensable asset for the 21st-century citizen and professional. At Drexel University, the Department of Global Studies and Modern Languages integrates French language instruction with the university’s signature experiential learning approach. Our curriculum is rooted in real-world communication and embedded in authentic cultural contexts, preparing students to apply their skills beyond the classroom.

Through Drexel’s renowned co-op program, study abroad opportunities, and community-based learning in Philadelphia, students actively engage with diverse global communities while building professional experience. Drexel students develop not only linguistic proficiency, but also the cultural agility and hands-on experience needed to navigate and lead in the French-speaking world.

Admissions Requirements

Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
