What are the foreign/world language requirements at the UW?
To be admitted to the UW, students must have completed two years of the same foreign/world language in high school or foreign language 101 & 102 in college. Once students meet the admission requirement, it is necessary to address the foreign language graduation requirement. Not all colleges at the UW require foreign language to graduate. However, the College of Arts and Sciences (which houses over 60 majors), Occupational Therapy, and Social Work require foreign language 103 with a minimum grade of 2.0 to graduate. This requirement is known as a “proficiency” requirement and it cannot be used to fulfill Humanities/VLPA–which also includes the FL 101 and 102 of the proficiency language. If the foreign language proficiency requirement is fulfilled, then foreign language 101, 102 and 103 can be used for Humanities/VLPA if 1) students complete the Associate degree or 2) if the degree is not complete, students will need to complete the language through the third quarter for foreign languag
