This is the preliminary (or launch) version of the 2024-2025 VCU Bulletin. We may add courses that expose our students to cutting-edge content and transformative learning. We may also add content to the general education program that focuses on racial literacy and a racial literacy graduation requirement, and may receive notification of additional program approvals after the launch. The final edition and full PDF version will include these updates and will be available in August prior to the beginning of the fall semester.

A minor in French requires at least 18 credits in the chosen language, none of which may be earned at the 100 level.

Students who place through the intermediate level and begin taking French at the 300 level cannot count FREN 201, FREN 202 or FREN 205 toward the minor. These students are required to complete all 18 credits of the minor through course work at the 300 level or above.
