<p>Is there a foreign language requirement for The College?
If so, does it have to be fullfilled prior to attending UChicago?
And what is the requirement exactly? </p>
<p>The reason I ask is because I am bilingual (speak English and Farsi/Persian) so I did not take a 3rd language in high school.So if there is a foreign language requirement, do I satisfy it or not?</p>
<p>thnx in advance.</p>
<p>The Core includes a competency requirement. You can meet it by testing, or by taking 2-3 quarters of a language in college. There is a list of many languages in which competency tests can be taken in the Course Catalogue. I’m pretty sure Farsi is OK. There’s no rule against using a language spoken at home to meet this requirement.</p>
<p>As long as you can speak, read, and write well in Farsi, you should pass out of the language requirement.</p>
<p>However, if you’re trying to be admitted to the college, you might want to contact the college on this. I thought they required some foreign language study in high school, even if you already are bilingual, but I don’t really know all the details of such policy.</p>
