Foreign Language Associate in Arts Degree
PROGRAM CODE: 2A03853
The Foreign Language Associate in Arts Degree is designed to prepare students to acquire knowledge and academic skills to transfer to a four-year institution and earn a baccalaureate degree in Foreign Language or similar major. Students may fulfill the requirement by completing the entire sequence (101 F, 102 F, 203 F, and 204 F) for a single foreign language (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish). Some students may be placed into the language course sequence at a higher level than 101 F. For example, according to the prerequisite policy, students who complete high school coursework with a C or better may place out of some of the language sequence. However, these students are not awarded units for the courses out of which they placed. Such students must complete the 18-22 units required for the degree by selecting the remaining units from the list of restricted electives, or substitution courses. This degree requires 18-22 units in the major, in addition to other graduation requirements.
