Concurrent Certificate in Professional French


Department of French
Togo Salmon Hall, Room 532, ext. 24470
http://french.humanities.mcmaster.ca/

The concurrent Certificate in Professional French provides students with substantial vocabulary from such fields as business, law, medicine, journalism and the hospitality industry. Through a focus on the study of sample cases, the certificate will help prepare students for possible real-life situations which they could encounter in their careers.

Notes


  1. No more than 6 units of the Certificate may be completed using non-McMaster courses.
  2. Students majoring in any French program must complete the certificate requirements FRENCH 2I03  and FRENCH 3II3  as elective credit. These courses must be taken outside of the French (Honours B.A., Combined Honours B.A. or B.A.) degree requirements.
  3. Students uncertain as to whether language course prerequisites best reflect their linguistic ability are encouraged to consult the French department for a placement test.
  4. Students interested in further study may wish to review requirements for the Minor in French , however, should note that they would be unable to declare both the Concurrent Certificate in Professional French and the Minor in French.
