Students in French, German, and Spanish who continue with the same language must take the placement test before they enroll in a course in the department. Students in other languages must consult the department for the appropriate placement procedures before enrolling.

Winthrop-King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies
The Winthrop-King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies was created as a result of a generous bequest from the late Mrs. Ada Belle Winthrop-King. It is a center for interdisciplinary scholarship focusing on developments in France and the wider French-speaking world dating approximately from the French Revolution to the present, with a particular emphasis on contemporary issues. The institute offers a wide range of study abroad scholarships for students. Strongly interdisciplinary in outlook, the Institute brings together faculty from a variety of departments at Florida State and from universities throughout the world. It hosts leading scholars, artists and public figures and sponsors a wide range of lectures, film screenings, conferences and other events addressing key social, cultural and political issues in France and other French-speaking regions.
Scholarships Offered
Ada Belle Winthrop-King Scholarships are offered on a competitive basis each year for language majors and minors in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. For further information, please contact the department at (850) 644-2606.
