Foreign Language Requirement for Haas

<p>I'm getting conflicting info from Haas' site and Assist on whether or not the foreign language class may also be used to satisfy the International Studies breadth requirement. Here's what the website says:</p>

One course may not be used to satisfy both a prerequisite and a breadth requirement for the business administration major. However, the college level language course that is used to satisfy the foreign language requirement may also be used to satisfy a breadth requirement.

<p>But on the latest articulation agreement on Assist it says the exact opposite:</p>

<p>

Courses used for breadth credit may not also be used to meet the Reading and
Composition, Quantitative Reasoning, or Foreign Language requirements.

<p>So anyone know for sure which it is? I'm pretty sure the foreign language class could be used to satisfy a breadth in past articulation agreements, but I'm not so sure now.</p>

<p>International Studies requires 3rd or 4th year language. This fulfills International studies</p>

<p>The language requirement for the University is 2nd year language. This means, if you take a third year or higher, you should already have an equivalency on your transcript for the language requirement (i.e. Span 2). It’s a very minute detail, which generally doe snot have to be worried about by the student, unless your school fails to record the equivalency on your transcript and you somehow go into a 3rd or 4th year language without having taken any language prior to it, whether in high school or college.</p>

<p>Hope this makes sense.</p>

<p>Basically, if you take Span 3 or 4 to satisfy your international studies, your language requirement will have been satisfied by Spanish 2, or an equivalency listed on your transcript which gave you the permission to enroll in Span 3.</p>

<p>This is just personal understanding - i have not spoke with any advisors, so if you don’t understand it or believe it please contact the Haas admissions advisers for further clarification</p>

<p>Ahhh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up… the articulation agreement was not very clear on this.</p>

<p>Game Ther. - this is why so many people have a hard time with the prereqs…look - all the major req. may not be used to satisfy the breadth guidelines (ex. micro economics) but the foreign language may be used to satisfy breadth guidelines. Look at assist.org under the international studies and it will say “Foreign Language (any level).” Any level means it doesn’t matter if it’s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 - I don’t know what the previous poster was trying to say - when it doubt call Haas - their actually really helpful.</p>

<p>Actually, for my school there is a list of classes under each breadth requirement that’ll fulfill it. I looked at it again and sure enough under International Studies it lists level 3 as the minimum (i.e. Japanese 3). Japanese 2 would fulfill the foreign language section.</p>

<p>Interesting - I want to check this out. What school are you transferring from?</p>

<p>Oh - and did you apply this year or are you going to be applying next year. Next year I see they would take an “intermed. foreign language” instead of “any level.”</p>

<p>I’m applying this November for fall 2010 transfer from SMC.</p>

<p>That makes sense - I’m applying this year…good luck.</p>
