<p>If I were to go to Cornell would I be able to take ASL for my language requirement? I'm not sure if they offer it or not, and if it would count or not.</p>
<p>please consult with your advisor NOW!</p>
<p>Not a student at Cornell yet, but it’s a dream school, and if I decide to make the change SOON I could start ASL in high school doing an independent study.</p>
<p>ASL is offered at Cornell, but i think you would have to confirm with your advisor. </p>
<p>If you are in CAS, you would need take 4 semesters of a second language. If ASL does NOT have classes up to the 219 level, then you would NOT be able to use it as your language req.</p>
<p>ASL is currently a summer course and won’t be offered again for a while. If you’re in CAS you must take three semesters of a language and ASL only has two courses. With CALS, taking a language is optional. If you do wind up taking a language, Cornell has several options; but you would have to give languages some priority in your schedule since most of them meet often in the week.</p>
<p>If you are in CAS, you can either</p>
<p>1) take two semesters of an Asian language (Japanese, Korean, Chinese are all 6 credits each semester and you only need 11 credits)
2) take three semesters of European language (i think each is 4 credits)
3) test into a 2000 level course of any language and take two semesters of a 2000 level language</p>
<p>Unfortunately, ASL is only offered in the summer and I didn’t see it offered this year. So, I don’t think you can do that.</p>
<p>Be careful with those three Asian languages if you decide to go that route. They’re very intense, very different (from English), and they meet a lot. European languages are still intense, but meet less. The main concern with beginning language is that it could knock your GPA and as a pre-med you don’t necessarily want that.</p>
