So, a student will need to either double up on English, Math, Science, or Social Studies, or take a Foreign Language, Comparative Religions or Philosophy.

In addition, 10 of the credits a student earns must be in the first 7 semesters,

A student who takes 4 years each of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies, all from the approved list that each school has (note: not every course will be approved) would not need to take foreign language to be eligible, although a HS diploma is also required, and some high school systems require FL for that, whereas others, like MCPS give you a choice of FL or career related electives.


Do you have a link for this? Thanks!

OP there is none.

Before going to college student should have at min 3 years.

My suggestion in HS would be to take the language all four years. This way if they get to college and their major requires a language credit then the classes will be easier.

If a student is not good at a language I recommend they take it at a community college and transfer the credit. Most not all but most will allow this.

I think you're confusing what the HS graduation requirements are and college entrance reqs. You should contact your HS to see what their foreign language reqs are for graduation.

And what's needed to get in maybe be different than what's needed to get out.

NCAA has no foreign language requirements at all. An individual college might have something.

I am SO super confused on the foreign language high school requirement needed to get into college for an aspiring soccer player. Please help. Does my son need 2 or three years of a foreign language?
