World Language courses are sequential. The World Language Department recommends that any student desiring to take a language at levels II, III, IV, or V first demonstrate mastery of competencies at the prior language level. Requests outside of the standard progression from level to level will be reviewed and approved by the World Language Department.
Many students continue education beyond high school. Since admission requirements vary widely between higher education institutions, students should consult the college bulletins or catalogs of different institutions early in their high school careers to assure they are completing the necessary requirements. It is important to realize that admission to college is generally competitive and that a maximum rather than a minimum course of study is recommended.
The following table generalizes recommended world language admissions requirements for various post-secondary programs:
Two-year colleges: 0-2 credits
Engineering: 2-4 credits
Four-year colleges: 2-4 credits
Highly selective colleges: 3-5 credits
