Old French for undergraduates, as it is offered to students at the University of Minnesota, Morris, represents a break with tradition. A rationale for the program and course descriptions accentuate benefits accrued from undergraduate medieval studies. Syllabuses for French 80, The History of the Language; French 90, Directed Medieval Studies; and French 61, Survey of French Literature, covering the Middle Ages through the 16th century, further illustrate the nature of the entire program and list the required readings for each course.
