<p>in college can you take latin for your foreign language requirement?</p>
<p>if it's offered for at least 2 semesters...probably. Ask your advisor, or the answer should be in your course catalogue, if you have one.</p>
<p>has anyone heard of people taking Latin to suffice an FL requirement?</p>
<p>Dude, you can major in Latin (usually as a part of a Classic program), if you wan't to.</p>
<p>I don't want to major in Latin (i plan on majoring in english) I just feel that Latin would be a lot better for me as an english major and I am more interested in Latin than Spanish, French, etc...</p>
<p>I don't see why you couldn't.</p>
<p>I think it depends on the school. At my school it doesn't meet the requirements.</p>
<p>You'd be better off going to the websites of the school[s] you are interested in and checking there.</p>
<p>Depends on the school. Some majors at some schools don't even need foreign language (amen to that...English SHOULD be standardaized as a universal language...no need to learn all these foreign dialects we'll never use anyway). Others require 1 or 2 courses be taken.</p>
<p>If you're talking transferring in credits from HS to be used as exemption, it probably depends on whether Latin is offered at your school. Before I transferred schools I had to take a German placement test to see where I scored after 2 years of HS German...but the people who took Latin didn't have that option since they didn't offer it.</p>
<p>The school I'm going to next year is very big on the romance languages, I'm sure I'll be able to work things out. If I had to do another two years of Spanish I'd probably kill myself.</p>
<p>I'm taking Latin to fulfill my foreign language requirement. I didn't start out as a Classics major, but I might become one. I think it does depend upon the school as to whether Latin will fulfill, at my school it does. I love the language and would highly recommend it, especially in advanced courses.</p>
<p>It's allowed at UCSD. It's really up to the individual college, though.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>It is allowed for certain degrees at my school.</p>

<p>Mac...that was a REALLY ignorant thing to say....</p>
<p>Why should our language be supreme?</p>
<p>Should our culture be supreme too?</p>
<p>I hope he was joking....I think he was....maybe.</p>
<p>BTW-they're not foreign dialects, dude. If you really want to get technical, 'standardized English' could be a dialect, along with the 6000 other languages of the world, of the original language. ;)</p>
