Is there a foreign-language requirement once a student arrives at Boston College?
To graduate from Boston College, students in the College of Arts & Sciences and the Carroll School of Management must show proficiency in a foreign language. Students may fulfill this proficiency by earning a score of 3 or better on a language AP examination (French, German, or Spanish) or by earning a score of 550 or better on the language SAT II examination in French, German, Spanish, or Italian (600 or better in Latin or Greek). Students wishing to demonstrate proficiency in a language other than those listed above, and those for whom English is not their first language, should consult their class dean. Otherwise, students must pass the intermediate level of a Boston College foreign-language course. Students in the Carroll School of Management who have had four years of a foreign language in high school have fulfilled the requirement.
