French-German majors are required to take 33 credits combined in French and German at the 200-level or above; they may take a maximum of 60 credits in French and German combined, including 100-level courses. (Students who transfer to Hood in their junior year intending to major in French-German must be qualified to enroll in courses at the 200-level or above in both languages.)
The following courses are required:
- FREN 203 and GER 203 (Conversation and Composition)
- FREN 204 and GER 204 (Civilization and Culture)
- FREN 207 or 208 and GER 207 or 208 (Cultural Perspectives on Literature I, II)
- 12 credits in 300-level courses or above (6 in French and 6 in German; at least 6 in literature)
- A 3-credit independent project in French-German studies, preferably completed while in Strasbourg, with a final presentation at Hood. The project will be supervised by both a French and a German professor and will be written in either French or German.
We recommend that students consider combining this major with a major or a minor in economics, history or political science.
