Concurrent Certificate in Professional French

Notes

1. No more than 6 units of the Certificate may be completed using non-McMaster courses.
2. Students majoring in any French program who also wish to complete the certificate must take FRENCH 2I03  and FRENCH 3II3  as elective credit. These courses must then be taken in addition to 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.
