<p>Just wondering, if I too 2 years of Japanese in High School, would I still have to take 3 semesters of foreign language in college? I'm planning on transferring in Fall 2013.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>yes you will. i took three years of spanish in high school and it did not count towards usc. when you get accepted, you will take a foreign language placement exam that will determine what level of foreign language you will start in.</p>
<p>Let me add that you only need to be proficient through level 3 in a foreign language. That means if you test out (pass the exam through level 3), you will not have any FL to take at USC. If you pass level 2 in Japanese, for example, you will only have to do one semester (Level 3) to complete your language requirement.</p>
<p>My son had two years of Japanese in high school and placed into Level 3 at USC. He just finished his first semester but has not taken his Japanese class yet.</p>
