Should I take a year off after high school before college?

If I only take 2 years of spanish in high school do i have to take another year of language in college?

  • Someone told me that if i don't take a 3rd yr. of language my junior year (im a sophomore), i will have to take spanish or some other language in college again. is this true?

  • Answer:

    Once you get to College if your Degree requires a foreign language then you will have to take I believe 2 semesters of a foreign language to fulfill your College Degree requirements. High School classes do not count toward College courses unless they are AP classes. AP classes are classes taken in High School at a College level and are transferable to College once you pass the exam. Most schools require the students to have been in Honors classes before they allow them to take AP classes and you must get a recommendation from a teacher in the subject area you are seeking to take the AP classes in.

It depends on your college, and your college degree plan. That lists all the classes you HAVE to take to get the college degree. Some students in college take Spanish as an elective to guarantee an easier grade since they had it in high school. Others have to take it for their degree plan, such as business majors. It all depends on the college. High school courses prepare you for college, but do not substitute for the required courses there.

If you want to go to a good college (UCLA, USC or any other in the UC system), they ask that you do two years of language. Three years, better, four years great. Two is just the minimum. Of course, you have a higher chance. Besides, if you're majoring in... say an English major, what would the use of a spanish class be?
