[quote=Anonymous]There are 4 ways that a college can "use" a language for academic credentials: 1. Accepting it for HS study as part of the admissions qualifications to the college. 2. Accepting a placement test in that language in order to fulfill requirements at the college. 3. Teaching that language at the college but not allowing it to fulfill certain requirements. 4. Teaching that language at the college and allowing it to fulfill all requirements. A college does not have to teach a language at all in order to use it as described under #1 and #2. For #3, sometimes budget stands in the way (for example, college requires 4 semesters of the same language for graduation, but only teaches 2 semesters of ASL, thereby making ASL by default only a free elective). In other words, #1 and #2 above represent cases of philosophical advocacy. The leap to #3 or #4 takes money.[/quote]
