Graduates enter careers in teaching, government service, translating, editing, interpreting, library science, international business, foreign service and computer-related technologies. Any field of work that requires a broad liberal education, linguistic skill and a knowledge of French-speaking cultures will offer job opportunities for majors. Combinations with particularly strong employment potential are French Studies and economics, political science and business.

The University maintains summer, semester and year-long exchange programs in France with the University of Montpellier, a program which provides students an opportunity to study French language at any level (no language prerequisite), literature and culture as well as business and economics in either French or English. An array of programs are available for study elsewhere in France, Quebec and other French-speaking parts of the world. The Office of International Programs provides students with guidance in choosing the right program.

The program sponsors a "Face to Face" series which brings to campus an important figure in contemporary French thought, letters, film or art.

Opportunities to use French and to exchange ideas outside of class are provided through Le cercle frangais, lecture and film series, and other activities.

Paris Chamber of Commerce Exam
The French Studies Program trains students to take both the written and oral parts of the international exam offered by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Dipltme supirieur francais des affaires) on the Albany campus, when numbers warrant it. Recipients of the "Dipltme supirieur" enhance their employment potential in international business and management.

B.A. in French/M.B.A. Dual Degree Program
The French Studies Program and the School of Business offer a five-year B.A./M.B.A. Degree Program in French and Business Administration taken on the Albany campus and at the University of Montpellier. The program is open to students with 4 years of high school French (or A Fre 221 or 222L in the University in the High School Program.) Students fulfill requirements for the French major during their freshman, sophomore and junior year. Students formally apply for admission into the M.B.A. at the end of their sophomore years. The junior year is spent at the University of Montpellier where students take courses in French, European Economics, Management and Marketing, International Management and Finance. They also participate in internship/community service projects. The fourth and fifth years focus on completing the requirements for the M.B.A. degree.

Language Placement
How do I know what level French is for me?

Students wishing to enroll in French for the first time at the University at Albany must use the following guidelines in selecting the appropriate level. Students taking a lower level course after having completed a course at a higher level will not receive graduation credits for that course.

A Fre 101L Students who have no previous experience with French or whose experience is the equivalent of less than one year of high school level French;

A Fre 102L Students who have completed one year of high school level French or its equivalent;

A Fre 221L Students who have completed two years of high school level French or its equivalent;

A Fre 222L Students who have completed three years of high school level French or its equivalent. These students should see the Undergraduate Adviser to discuss the possibility of majoring or minoring in French;

A Fre 240 Students who have completed four years of high school level French or its equivalent. These students should see the Undergraduate Adviser to discuss the possibility of majoring or minoring in French.

Exceptions:

1. Students may elect to enroll one level higher or lower than the level suggested by the above guidelines. Factors which could be taken into consideration in making this decision are: the length of time which has elapsed since last formal study of French; additional travel or home experience with the language; quality of previous program of study; grades earned (overall performance) in previous study. Note, however, that the Language Placement rules of the Undergraduate Bulletin state that A Fre 101L may not be taken for credit by students who have taken three years of high school French or passed the Regents examination within the last five years.

2. Students who wish to be placed more than one level higher or lower than the placement suggested by these guidelines must have written permission from the Language Program Director.

3. Students who have completed A Fre 200L or A Fre 221L through the University in High School Program should enroll in A Fre 222L; students who have completed A Fre 210L or A Fre 222L should enroll in A Fre 240.

4. Students who have received Advanced Placement (AP) credit should see the Undergraduate Adviser to discuss their program of study.

5. Students whose experience with French has not been primarily through organized study in an American high school setting should consult with the Language Program Director or the Undergraduate Adviser for help in selecting an appropriate class.

Students are strongly encouraged to see the Language Program Director Sequence if they feel they are in the wrong class or if they have any questions about placement. Decisions to change courses should be made no later than the fourth week of classes.

General Program B.A.:  a minimum of 36 credits above A Fre 222L. These include: 21 credits of core courses (A Fre 240, 241E, 306, 340Z, 355, 360, 440Z); 15 credits of elective courses at the 300 level and/or 400 level, including at least 6 credits at the 400 level.

A Fre 306, 355, and at least one 400-level course must be taken in residence at the Albany campus. Credits earned through study abroad programs will not fulfill this requirement.

Teacher Education Program:
As of Fall 2000, the Teacher Education minor will no longer be offered for the incoming freshman class. To obtain teacher certification, students must complete the French major plus an M.A. in Education, due to revisions in the New York State Education Department regulations for teacher certification. Students admitted prior to Fall 2000 and transfer students may still be able to complete the Teacher Education minor. Students interested in teaching as a profession should contact the Academy for Initial Teacher Preparation at 442-5144.

Students may apply for admission to the Honors Program after the beginning of the second semester of their sophomore year. To gain admission to the program students must have formally declared a major in French and have completed at least 12 credits toward their major, including A Fre 241 and 355. In addition, they must have an overall GPA of at least 3.25, and 3.50 in their major, both of which must be maintained in order to graduate with honors.

Students must complete a minimum of:

1. 12 credits of courses in the major above A Fre 241 and 355,

2. a 3-credit independent study course (A Fre 397), and

3. a 6-credit major project or series of projects, to be completed during the junior and senior year. Prior to beginning the project, the student must have written approval from the Academic Committee of French Studies. The project will be evaluated not later than the third quarter of the senior year and submitted in final form by the end of the fourth quarter.

The combined B.A./M.A. program in French provides an opportunity for students of recognized academic ability and educational maturity to fulfill integrated requirements of the undergraduate and master's degree programs from the beginning of their junior year. A carefully designed program can permit a student to earn the B.A. and M.A. degrees within nine semesters.

The combined program requires a minimum of 138 credits, of which at least 30 must be graduate credits. In qualifying for the B.A., students must meet all University and college requirements, including the requirements for the major listed previously, the minor requirement, general education requirements, the minimum 90-credit liberal arts and sciences requirement and residency requirements. In qualifying for the M.A., students must meet all University and college requirements as outlined in the Graduate Bulletin, including completion of a minimum of 30 graduate credits, and any other conditions such as a research seminar, thesis, comprehensive examination, professional experience and residency requirements. Up to 12 graduate credits may be applied simultaneously to both the B.A. and M.A. programs.

Students are considered as undergraduates until completion of 120 graduation credits and satisfactory completion of all B.A. requirements. Upon meeting B.A. requirements, students are automatically considered as graduate students.

Students may apply for admission to the combined degree program in French at the beginning of their junior year or after the successful completion of 56 credits, but no later than the accumulation of 100 credits. A cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or higher and three supportive letters of recommendation from faculty are required for consideration. In exceptional cases, students with more than 100 undergraduate credits may apply to the program for exemption from the 100-credit rule.

In order to complete all requirements for this program in five years, students should plan to enter the program at the beginning of their freshman year and take all courses as scheduled on the BA in the French/MBA program chart (available from the department). They should consult with their undergraduate adviser before registering for courses.

Combining Italian with another foreign language taught in schools, such as Spanish, French or English, at the undergraduate or graduate level would provide students with strong credentials for teaching positions. Opportunities for occupations requiring Italian or bilingual background would also be enhanced. Graduates usually teach Italian or are involved with bilingual education. Others work for airlines that fly to Italy and with American companies doing business there.

Occupational areas in which Spanish majors have been employed are teaching, public relations, state and federal service, foreign service of the U.S., airlines, travel agencies, and in businesses dealing with Spanish-speaking countries.

A year abroad program was initiated at the International Institute in Madrid, Spain in 1970. Study abroad programs also are available in Campinas, Brazil; Medellin, Colombia; Costa Rica; and Cuernavaca, Mexico. For more information, see Office of International Programs. Use of the foreign language and the exchange of ideas are fostered through language clubs, colloquia, lectures and other activities in the program.

General Program B.A.:  A minimum of 34 credits including A Ita 103L, 104L, 206, 207, 223L, 301Z, 311, 312 and nine additional credits at or above the 300 level, six of which must be at the 400 level.

Students may apply for admission to the Honors Program after the beginning of the second semester of their sophomore year. To gain admission to the program students must have formally declared a major in Italian and have completed at least 12 credits toward their major. In addition, they must have an overall GPA of at least 3.25, and 3.50 in their major, both of which must be maintained in order to graduate with honors.

Students must complete a minimum of 41 credits, including a 4 credit Honors Thesis (A Ita 499), as well as 34 credits normally required for the major, and a 400-level literature course in addition to those required for the major. Specific requirements are as follows: Italian core: (22 credits) A Ita 103L, 104L, 206, 207, 301Z, 311, and 421.

Fifteen additional credits must be at the 300 level or above, including 6 credits of literature courses at or above the 400 level. In addition, the student must write a thesis based on Italian literature or culture.
