Can I major in French if I didn't take the class throughout high school?

<p>I began taking french in 8th grade, and it came natural to me so I continued it into 9th grade. But my french teacher sucked so I didn't sign up for the class the rest of high school. So my question is, am I eligible to take French as a major in college if I have no recent knowledge of it?</p>

I almost 100% positive you can. You would just have to start with the basic level or if they offer it take a placement test to see if you can skip any of the levels.
