How to Satisfy College Level Language
The seven course GE plan in Berkeley’s College of Letters and Science, as well as select majors at various UCs may have a requirement of two years of college level language. (NOTE: IGETC certification is the equivalent of one year of college level.) Here are ways you might fulfill it without more class time.
- Completion of high school foreign language (other than English) through the third year of instruction.
- SAT Subject Test, language other than English, minimum 590 score
- AP Exam in World Languages and Cultures, score of at least 3
- International Baccalaureate Exam in:
- Language (other than English) acquisition, B standard or higher
- Studies in language (other than English) and literature, A Literature, standard or higher; A Literature/Language, standard or higher
- GCE A-levels or IGCSE/GCSE/GCE O-level exam in a language other than English, A,B or C or 1,2 or 3
- Foreign Service Institute (FSI) or Defense Language Institute (DLI) exam, 1-5

Hi Lindy,
Do all UCs accept UCScout On-Demand courses for Spanish as World Language? My son is in middle school and is planning to take Spanish 1 and 2 in 7th grade.and Spanish 3 in high school through UCScout.
Will this plan be counted as 3 years of high school requirement for World Language?
thanks..
Yes. Each section (Spanish 2, for instance) is two semesters, so Spanish 3 is a year in length. I’m planning a blog post on UC Scout.
