If the student has taken 2 semesters of foreign language elsewhere, can those semesters be counted toward the Global Education Requirement?
Yes, if those courses were taken for college-level credit and are accepted by the University (it is the student’s responsibility to have grades transferred from other schools to the University). Students who have taken 4 or more years of language in high school or are native speakers of certain languages may take a language test at UMass to see if they can be awarded credit for 230 and 240 level language courses.
