The following chart will help you determine whether
you need foreign language at your chosen transfer
university. Some universities require foreign language
for admissions AND graduation. If you need to take
foreign language, it is highly recommended that you take
these classes at the community college level before
transferring.
It is also important that you complete course
sequences before transferring. The organization of the
material will usually vary from college to college. For
example, if you need the first year of a foreign
language, you should complete it at the community
college level.
