French Diplomas and Courses based on Placement Level:
Although the Department of Language Training of the CARRÉ INTERNATIONAL offers seven different levels of

courses and their distribution for these levels. To discuss other levels of training, please contact Prof. Klekovkina.

*IMPORTANT: Level A2 courses fulfill only nine credits towards the French Major and three credits for
Foreign Languages. Final transferred grades at this level will be weighted down due to a lesser complexity of the corpus
studied. Only in unusual circumstances should a student place in A2 after completion of FREN 314 at UW-Stevens Point.
