Foreign Language Requirements - zeroglory - 02-26-2020

I haven't noticed any specific Foreign Language Requirements for TESC on the plans I've seen, but I just wanted to check to be sure. Do any of the big 3 require foreign language for a Bachelor's Degree?

Nope, none of them do.

Depends on the major. Mine BA in International Studies requires 6 credits. At TESU.

There are a couple of degrees, the BA Foreign Language is another in addition to the International Studies. But the majority of degrees from the Big 3 do not have a foreign language requirement, you can have the language courses added to your General Education/Free Electives area for all of the Big 3.

So for instance, a great example of saving cash for a language or two you already know, you get the FULL 30 credits from a Language CLEP (French, German, Spanish) & ACTFL, it's the "cheapest/easiest/fastest" LL/UL combo. There are other languages, if those are in High School, AP/IB languages will net you MORE credits if you add that to ACTFL.

I meant that there were no requirements at the SCHOOL for foreign language for ALL degrees; if you choose a MAJOR that requires a foreign language, that's a different story altogether.

No, for the school itself there aren't any. Not sure if they require TOEFL for foreign students.
