Foreign Language Requirements

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Arizona
1

I do not have any years of foreign language but to go to University of Arizona, I have to have 2. Would it be acceptable to take spainish 1 and french 1 my senior year? Or does it matter at all? If all else fails I can take a summer course at a local college but I would like to avoid that

It says 2 high school credits of the same language. 1 Spanish and 1 French wouldn’t work.

But taking the courses at a college would work right?

4

if I am a junior do I still have time to get those classes in?

5

You need to complete high school level 2, college second semester, or some sort proficiency test (e.g. AP score), according to the link in #1.

6

so I could take spanish 1 at a CC and then take spainish 2 my senior year of high school?

7

Are you a junior now? You could take Spanish 1 at CC over the summer and Spanish 2 in the fall, or Spanish 1 in the fall and Spanish 2 in the spring. Most beginning level CC Spanish classes are the equivalents to a Spanish HS class.

8

There are also online high school level classes that may satisfy the requirement - take Spanish 1 and start now so you complete it prior to enrolling in Spanish II at your high school in the fall.

Be aware that you will might also have a language requirement at UA. My son took 4 years of Spanish, ending in 4AP Spanish, and is fluent, but he still had to take one semester of Spanish at UA because he is earning a B.S. Unsure if all depts. require a language to graduate.
