French/Declaring a Major

French Studies major Sarah Marcoux won an Undergraduate Research Award. Under the mentorship of Prof. Claire Malarte-Feldman, Sarah pursued research on her topic entitled "La Torture: Examining the Battle of Algiers as Human Rights Failure." Learn more about research opportunities at UNH.

Students entering the University as first-year or transfer students may declare any of the three majors in the program as part of the Admissions process.

If you are a continuing student interested in declaring one of the majors, you would need to complete the change of program process outlined below. Students must take at least one course in their major each semester until they meet their major requirements and must spend at least one semester studying in a French-speaking country.
