<p>is a foreign language course required at penn?</p>
<p>It's required if you don't have the SAT2 score or AP/IB scores to get you out of the requirement.</p>
<p>It depends on the undergraduate school in which you are enrolled. I can tell you that the College has a language requirement (4 semesters I think), and certain majors will have additional language requirements on top of that.</p>
<p>i'm still confused about this. but if i'm a native speaker in chinese and got 800 on the SatII, would i still need to take another language? the language website only listed japanese, no chinese, for some reason. i am taking french and planning on to take the ap, but don't know i''ll do that well. that is why i'm asking.</p>
<p>I'm thinking that because it's pretty lame for native Chinese speakers (of which there are many) to get exemptions.</p>
<p>ha, burn! im a native chinese speaker :P no boring, stupid, foreign language classes for me!</p>
<p>Edit......</p>
<p>im pretty sure theres no requirement at SEAS...they got rid of it</p>
<p>Wharton has a 2 semester requirement.</p>
<p>Wharton's requirement is 4 semesters, not 2.</p>
<p>nursing's requirement is also 4 semesters</p>
<p>are you sure??? I thought it was only 2 semesters?</p>
<p>When you sign up for foreign language courses, you generally sign up for spring and fall simultaneously, i believe, so thats twice times 2 semesters yielding 4 semesters.</p>
<p>Unless you sign up for an accelerated course which is 2 semesters but 4 course units and counts as 4 semesters.</p>
