K-12 Licenses: French

French majors pursing a K-12 teaching license must complete all the requirements for the French major. However, they must take both MODL 1010 and 1020, for a total of eleven (11) courses. In addition, an assessment of advanced language proficiency and knowledge of French and Francophone culture are required. Students must also complete the education department courses required for a Minnesota teaching license. 

The requirements for a K-12 teaching license in French are listed below. All teaching candidates are advised that completion of the program within a four-year time frame requires careful planning. If you seek a license to teach, please seek early advising from the School of Education to plan your program.
