USC foreign language requirement!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello, I am confused about USC's foreign language requirement. I gathered from their website that some majors have a foreign language requirement, which is 3 semesters, correct? What I am confused about is that if you are a CCC student, do these need to be completed before you transfer over or can they be done once you get to USC? I am a Communications major, by the way. Thanks!</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that they will allow you to complete the third semester at USC (they want your tuition money, hehe). BUT, I have read on their materials that since most majors require a third semester, that in order to be a strong candidate you should show progress in that requirement. Especially as a Communications major, it would probably be a good idea to do this. More so if you plan on entering as a Junior.</p>

<p>Hope that helped.</p>

<p>You'll actually have to take a test to show that you actually know the language. If you bomb it, you're going to have to start from level 1---they dont' care how many levels you've down, if you've got the skills then, you will only be able to test out of it. I know it totally sucks! They should just give you credit by the mere fact that you did take and pass a class, but I don't believe that's the case</p>

<p>I don't think Marshall students have a foreign language requirement.</p>
