Do I need 2 years of foreign language to get into UCLA speak english and Japanese a sophmore have an 4.0 GPA Can they count my the requirement by testing me?

- Yes, UCLA requires two years of foreign language coursework.

Can your English and Japanese proficiency count toward this requirement?

- UCLA may count your English and Japanese proficiency toward the foreign language requirement if you demonstrate a high level of proficiency in these languages. You can do this by:

1. Submitting a score of 5 or higher on the AP English Literature or AP English Language and Composition exam.

2. Completing two semesters of college-level Japanese coursework with a grade of B or higher.

*Note: If you have taken AP/IB/Dual Enrollment courses and received 4s, 5s, 7s, or the IB HL equivalent in them, UC's will waive the subject requirements you earn in this manner.*

Testing out of the foreign language requirement

- UCLA does not offer a placement test to test out of the foreign language requirement.

Other ways to meet the foreign language requirement

- If you are not able to demonstrate proficiency in English and Japanese, you can still meet the foreign language requirement by:

1. Taking two semesters of a foreign language at UCLA.

2. Completing a foreign language proficiency exam.

3. Transferring in foreign language coursework from another college or university.

I hope this helps!
