What exactly is the foreign language requirement for Columbia?

<p>I don't have any language fulfillment except the 3 years I took in high school, so what do I have to do for Columbia? My friend has a 4 on the AP Spanish exam, what does he have to do?</p>

<p>Only from highschool? Are you a transfer? Do you already attend?</p>

<p>Oh, I am a senior in high school and I have been accepted to Columbia College.</p>

<p>You have to take a foreign language unless your native language is not English, but then you have to pass the English test, whatever its called, TOFLE or something. I believe you can test out of the language requirement, but I believe you have to show proficiency of two years or more in a language. Realize this is two years (four semesters) of college foreign language, they may expect more than what you would learn in two years at your high school. It Depends on how hard your high school is.</p>
