Do I still have to take a foreign language in a CCC to transfer to a UC?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hi everyone. I'm currently in my first semester at a california community college. I intend to transfer to a UC (top choices from most to least preferred: UCB, UCLA, UCD UCI) as a civil engineering major. I heard rumors that taking a foreign language in high school will not transfer into a UC. Is this true? I took three years of spanish in high school and I really don't have any room for a foreign language if I want to transfer out in two years (WHICH I REALLY WANT!!). Will someone please tell me if this rumor is true or not?</p>

<p>Check with your CCC’s IGETC worksheet just to be 100% sure, but 2+ years of high school foreign language normally satisfies the requirement.</p>

<p>AFAIK Not true.</p>

<p>For reference, here’s SMC’s IGETC worksheet. See the bottom of page 3 for a list of ways to satisfy the language requirement. 2 years in high school works.</p>

<p>It’s not true. The IGETC worksheet explicitly states that two years of the same foreign language in high school works.</p>

<p>lol did someone underline my AFAIK? </p>

<p>If you’re a CCC student you don’t even need a foreign language to transfer in (and this I was told by a UCB rep), but of course you’ll need it if you want IGETC (and you’ll need it to graduate!)</p>
