<p>What is UCLA's foreign language requirement? How many quarters are required? And stuff like that.</p>
<p>And what is the American History and Institutions requirement? Does a class at UCLA satisfy this or something?</p>
<p>I'm confused.</p>
<p>1 year of foreign language is required, and I'm not sure about the american history one - i think most high school level american history classes satisfy this one. I didn't take the AP american history or anything, and i passed out of it somehow.</p>
<p>1 year, so 3 quarters, right? Can it be split up by taking 1 quarter of 3 different languages or does it have to be consecutive? (Spanish 1, 2, and 3)</p>
<p>Consecutive.</p>
<p>can you pass out of the foreign language? if so, how?</p>
<p>I believe a 3 or better on a foreign language AP test passes you out of the requirement. Also I think an SAT II score above some cutoff passes you out but I'm not sure about that</p>
<p>"What is UCLA's foreign language requirement? How many quarters are required? "</p>
<p>you have to attain EQUIVALENT to UCLA's level 3 for foreign languages. you can pass out of this by:</p>
<ol>
<li>passing the AP exam for a foreign language</li>
<li>take up to level 3 of the foreign language (1 level is 1 quarter, so basically 3 quarters or a year's worth)</li>
<li>skip to level 3 (or above if you wish), take that class, and you'll fulfill the requirement too</li>
<li>for some foreign languages, you may be able to pass out by passing the diagnostic placement exam for something above level 3</li>
</ol>
<p>and the language has to be the same for all 3 levels.</p>
<p>American History requirement
Passed out by: completing a year of US history and/or US govt in high school with an avg grade of B or better OR 500+ on SAT II US History OR 3, 4, or 5 on AP US History</p>
<p>If not, you will have to enroll in one of many options that can satisfy this requirement (you will be given a course catalog at orientation to see which classes can do this)</p>
<p>what if you didn't take a foreign language AP or a foreign language sat II?</p>
<p>Yeah, what if you took 4 years of a language in high school?</p>
<p>I'm a transfer student to Youcla, and I took six years of language(4 German, 2 French). I had AP classes, but never took any exams. I got in:) so I think you're cool with 4, HOWEVER, are you a freshmen? Cause y'alls gots some different requirements and I'd have to look that up, which I could.</p>
<p>I believe you can sign up for a placement test at orientation. Sign up for it on myUCLA.</p>
<p>How about engineering? I heard that engineers don't have a foreign language requirement. In fact...you need to ask in order to take it.</p>
<p>I'm not talking about getting in. I'm wondering if I have to take any foreign language classes at UCLA even though I took 4 years of a foreign language in high school.</p>
<p>Are yuo a freshmen, because requirements are different depending on what level you "would" be entering as.</p>
<p>Yup, I'm entering as a freshman.</p>
<p>If you log unto UCLA.com, go under "Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools", then click on "Prospective Students". The fifth bulleted item, "What You Need to Know About How Our Admission Process Works" has a list of entering students. Freshmen is first. Under the foreign language reqirement it states that you need at least 2 years, 3 is advised. So you're cool with four, as long as it's of the same language:)</p>
<p>Peas</p>
<p>Does anyone know if I got a 3 on the AP German test, if I can use it to satisfy some GE credits or not? (Electrical Engineering major)</p>
<p>yes, getting a 3 on AP German will satisfy the FL requirement. :D</p>
<p>I think UCLAmy was talking about the requirement at UCLA, not getting in. Just because you took four years of a foreign language in high school does not mean you don't have to take foreign language at UCLA--there's no 'exemptions' like with the AP scores and placement tests. If you're in the College of Letters & Science, you have to complete up to level three of one language. The only way of getting out of it or around it, again, are AP scores and the placement tests.</p>
