<p>At most colleges the recommended HS curriculum is just that—recommended, not required. Two years of a foreign language coupled with a strong STEM curriculum isn’t likely to prove fatal at most of these schools. But check on this with each of the schools on his target list; some schools really do require 4 years of a foreign language.</p>
<p>Another option if you can swing it financially is to pick up a full year’s HS language credit in a 4-week summer immersion program at the Concordia Language Villages in Minnesota. My D2 has really enjoyed her summer program at Concordia which she’s been attending for 5 years now, beginning with middle school 2-week programs. Last year was her second year as a HS “credit villager.” The HS credit courses are fully accredited and graded, and Concordia issues an official transcript that can accompany the student’s regular HS transcript. (Some high schools will give credit toward HS graduation requirements for successfully completing this program, but it sounds like that’s not an issue in your case). These are well known and highly regarded programs, and I’m sure most colleges and universities are familiar with them and grant full credit for a year of language study. They’re also, IMO, a more humane, effective, and accountable way to learn a language than an online program.</p>
