Students can earn a waiver from foreign language requirements if they submit proficiency test results and pass the in-house interview with language instructors. Those students who have taken the standardized language proficiency test must submit the most recent score and consult the language instructor for appropriate placement.
Asian Studies majors must take 6 semesters of one foreign language. Only 6 credits of language courses will count toward major requirements. The remaining 12 credits will count as CC. Those students who get exempted, or only have to fulfill partial requirements, do not earn extra credits, but should take other courses in place of language courses.
