All degree programs in the Department of French and Italian are open enrollment. However, special limitations apply for teaching majors.
The study of French or Italian language and literature sharpens analytical and communicative skills. Students develop proficiency in listening, reading, writing, and speaking, and they learn to use literature as a means to discover and broaden their understanding of culturally specific as well as universal issues and values.
Italian and French are valuable research and communication tools for students in music, art, history, European studies, international relations, library science, and comparative literature. Many have chosen a major or minor in Italian or French in addition to a second major or minor in an area such as accounting or business management, or as preparation for professional programs in public administration, business administration, organizational behavior, dentistry, law, or medicine.
To receive a bachelor's degree a student must fill three groups of requirements: (1) general education requirements; (2) university requirements; and (3) major requirements.
Students should contact their college advisement center for information about general education courses that will also fill major requirements.

Internships Abroad. Eight-week summer work abroad is available in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, where interns receive financial compensation while performing such services as clerking in grocery and department stores, doing accounting in banks, and serving as au pairs. Students may enroll for cooperative education credit (399R) and conversation credit (211R, 311R, or 411). The internship proves invaluable in strengthening language skills.
Oral Proficiency Interview. All majors and teaching minors are required to enroll in Fren 491 or Ital 491 and have an oral proficiency interview (OPI) during the senior year. The results of the OPI are recorded on the student's transcript. The minimum rating of Advanced is required of all teaching majors and minors. Appointments for the interviews are made through the department secretary.
Instruction. All courses are taught in the target language unless indicated otherwise in this catalog.
Language Credit by Examination. A student enrolled full-time at BYU whose native language is English may receive credit by special examination for French for which he or she has acquired the equivalent skill or knowledge. However, this is possible only if no university credit has been given through AP, CLEP, or transfer of equivalent credit from another university or other institutions.

Accelerated Program. Beginning: The department offers an accelerated course in beginning French (101 and 102) every fall and winter semester. These courses are offered on the block.
Foreign Language Student Residence. An excellent alternative to or preparation for foreign residency is offered through the Foreign Language Student Residence, where participants speak, eat, and live with a French only rule. This program, with numerous cultural opportunities, is available each semester to women and men who have completed at least one year of college French. Residents may also receive 2 hours of conversation credit per semester by enrolling in a specially designated section of 211R, 311R, or 411R.
Study Abroad Programs. All students of French are encouraged to participate in a Study Abroad program. Study Abroad typically offers during spring term a language and civilization program in Paris, France. It provides an excellent opportunity for developing language proficiency and better understanding of the history and culture of France. Study Abroad also offers a semester-long program in Paris emphasizing general education courses.

Note: Ital 340 fulfills the GE Foreign Language option. Ital 321 does not.

Foreign Language Student Residence. In addition to BYU's spring or summer term in Italy, intensive “live-in” experience is available in the Foreign Language Student Residence. Besides taking regular courses in the department, students participate in lectures, discussions, films, and related extracurricular activities under the supervision of native Italian head residents. Vital to the success of the program is the 24-hour Italian only rule whereby students use Italian language as their only means of communication while they are at home. Participants may receive 2 credit hours per semester by enrolling in Ital 211R, 311R, or 411R.
Study Abroad Program. All students of Italian are encouraged to participate in a Study Abroad program in Italy offered spring or summer term (usually every other year). This program provides excellent opportunities for developing language proficiency and understanding the rich culture of Italy.
