<p>USC requires “proficiency” in a language. So it depends on her major and the score she gets on her language placement test. If she’s a science/engineering major, she only needs to get a 2 on the test (it’s grades from 1-6 I think) and she doesn’t need to take any language at USC. If she’s a liberal arts major or something else, then the score needed is higher (I’m not sure exactly what it is though).</p>
