Colleges that don't require foreign language or only require one year?

<p>Hello. </p>

<p>I think I have successfully convinced my friend to take a year of language his senior year to help him get into college, because I know some schools only require one year. One of those schools I'm looking at, Alabama, you only need one year and he says he wouldn't mind going there. I know other schools like LSU will waive requirements if you meet a certain standard standard like SAT/ACT or taking other units. </p>

<p>Any other suggestions or is there a list?</p>

<p>Oh and he is a pretty good student (though we go to different high schools so I don't know that much). But I think he has around a 3.2-3.3 GPA, and he's taking the SAt or ACT in June so hopefully he can do decent on that. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>While I’m not personally an expert on the matter, this thread might help:</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>If he doesn’t like studying foreign languages, you might also want to check which schools have no language distribution requirements to graduate. A lot of them require either language competency or a certain score on a foreign language SAT II.</p>

<p>Thanks so far.</p>

<p>His high school does not require foreign language to graduate and he took a quarter of a language then dropped the class (I think he had an A though). He is kinda smart, he’s just pretty lazy.
So I don’t think he could do well on a SAT II language test.</p>

<p>Any schools come to mind with only one year required? I know it is kind of a weird question, and he already has a list of schools that don’t require any language, but he would like to add a couple more schools to his list.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
