Foreign language a core class?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I was looking at the UNC Chapel Hill and NYU sites about transfer admissions. They mentioned that a student should have completed atleast 1 course in each of the 5 core areas of study... 1 of them being a foreign language?</p>

<p>Is this common? I've never heard of foreign language being a core class. These are both school I was really considering applying to, and it's worrying me. I have taken 3 years of spanish in high school, but none in college, and didn't plan on it either.</p>

<p>Can anyone shed some light on this?</p>

<p>Call them and ask. "What are the 5 core areas that transfers need?"</p>

<p>May depend on your major. For example, some universities require students to take foreign language, but waive that for Engineering majors.</p>
