A French language certificate is available and recognizes successful demonstration of intermediate-level proficiency in the language for students that choose not to pursue a language major or minor. The certificate recognizes competency equivalent to the successful completion of the FREN 101-204 sequence with an overall GPA of 3.00 or better in the language courses counting toward the certificate. The course that demonstrates successful completion of the certificate must be taken at St. Norbert College through the modern languages and literatures curriculum and the student must earn a “B” or higher in this course. A student who places beyond the 204 level (e.g., 305) still must complete one class on campus and receive a grade of “B” or higher in that class. A student who might be interested in a certificate could take four classes (FREN 101, FREN 102, FREN 203, FREN 204) at St. Norbert College. However, students who might be interested in a certificate could place into FREN 203 or FREN 204 and would only have to take one, or at most, two classes.
See the Modern Languages and Literatures [MLLS] section for additional information on all St. Norbert College language programs, policies and courses.
Retroactive Credit Policy
Students may be awarded up to (2) lower-level courses, equivalent to a maximum of (8) retroactive credits, by earning a grade of “B” or better in specific language, math or computer science classes that are above the introductory level (ex: 101).
