foreign language requirements at your university?

[tfinch2]

i'm writing a paper that covers multicultural classes and one of my points involves the requirement of foreign languages. to save me the time of looking over a lot of university requirement websites, if you would, name your college what the foreign language requirements are...

for example...my school

st. edwards university - two 3-hour courses

 

[jmcoreymv]

Cal Poly SLO - None.

 

[a7berwill]

Elizabethtown College, PA
No foreign language requirement, but we do have a "foreign cultures" requirement that students usually satisfy with a language.

 

[nater]

Wabash College (Crawfordsville, IN)
YOu must be "proficient" in a foreign language.
If you don't have prior experience with a language that means taking two semesters of one.

 

[mugs]

Taylor University, Indiana
For B.A. - 12 hours (4 semesters)
For B.S. - None.

I got a B.S. Suckers.

Edit: Is your paper arguing against the requirement of multicultural classes?

 

[seepy83]

Southern Connecticut State University (New Haven, CT)
B.A. - completement of a language at the 4th level (if starting from first year, you must take 100, 101, 200, 201...or some higher ones other than 201)
B.S. - completement of a language at the second level (100, and 101...unless you test right into 101).

UCSD
It depends on what college you are in, but in mine, which is John Muir, you can take a language to fulfill a GE.
If you do that, you need to take 3 quarters

 

[Whisper]

University of Georgia:

As far as I know, anyone enrolled in the college of arts and sciences is required to take 3 semesters (one 3-hour, and two 4-hour classes) worth of a foreign language. English and history majors (which might also apply to all BAs, now that I think about it) are required to take four semesters (one 3-hour, and three 4-hour classes) worth.

I don't believe that any other college requires foreign language, other than maybe the International Business major.

Ditto...

P.S. I love 11 hour school days!:|

 

[GrouchyLadybug]

Lipscomb University (Nashville, TN)...
BA: 10 hours (two 5-hour classes)
BS: none

This foreign language requirement is the only difference between BA and BS at Lipscomb.

 

[eviltommy]

Wayne State U - i think we need 12hrs total if taking a language OR you can take foriegn cultures class(some 4 cr hr bs class) to fit the req.

 

[veggiefrog]

at psu-up if u werent already 'proficient' u had to take up to 3 semesters worth (usually about 4hrs/wk)

not sure of everyone it was required for but i had pre-med/finance/criminal justice majors in my classes, so i'm guessing just about everyone.

 

[The Stigenator]

Sac.State (CSUS) has a foreign lanugage req (one of 2 in the cal.state system that requires it for graduation).

I am testing out with my HS transcripts..

I think you need 2 yrs of HS atleast or 2 sems of college level but im not sure.

 

[phreakah]

long beach state.. no req's

 

[Buttzilla]

my alum, UCSB. i think you needed one year (3 quarters). But if you took 3+ years in High School you get exempt. I took 4 years of german and 2 years of french in HS. hehehe

 

[minendo]

Purdue University, IN

Depends on your major. My original major, Biochemistry, required 4 semesters at 3 credits per semester. My actual major, Food Science, did not require any that I am aware of. I ended up getting two years worth of German though.

 

[yllus]

Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada - none that I know of.

 

[Corporate Thug]

UCLA, Los Angeles

3 quarters, you can place out by taking a test
(Forgein Language required for School of letters and Sciences only, not engineering)

 

[fatalbert]

Boston University (College of Arts and Sciences)

4 semester proficiency, so either 4 semesters or however many classes you need to take based on your grades. an SAT II score of 550 or so gets you out of it, or you could just take a 4th semester class if you place into it.

 

[Darien]

University of Southern California -- 3 semesters

Exceptions: engineering (except for CS), architecture and business majors don't have to take any

You can test out of these courses too.

 

[DaWhim]

my requirement waived.

University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles?

 

[Supermercado]

Clemson University, Computer Science department, no foreign language requirement.

Don't know what other departments require, though.

 

[Babbles]

University of Texas @ Arlington

B.S. = no foreign language
B.A. = 6 hours (I think) of foreign language

I got a BS in Biology, but I did take a semster of Russian just for kicks.

 

[bradruth]

University of North Dakota - No general foreign language requirements, but a number of majors require them. I have to have 2 4-credit units of a language for Political Science (my second major). For Criminal Justice I need either 4 units of a language or a minor or second major.
