I am currently a sophomore in high school, and I am creating my schedule for next year. My school requires 3 years of foreign language, and I am currently in Spanish 2H. After speaking with the academic director, I found out that I have the option to take a Spanish 3 course over the summer to fulfill the graduation requirement, and instead take an elective. I want to major in biology in college, and I am interested in taking the “genetics and biotechnology” elective my school offers.
I know most colleges prefer 3 years of foreign language, but if I’m taking it over the summer, is there a difference? Is there a difference to colleges as to whether or not I take Spanish 3 over the summer or take the course during the school year?
