Check the requirements of the schools you’re looking into. Most do have some kind of foreign language requirement, as the other posters have said. Now, whether you can use AP credit to bypass it and what score you would need is dependent on the school. I know at my school, if you get a 3 or higher on a language exam you bypass the three quarters of required foreign language for an AB or BAS degree. You’ll probably have to take a placement test regardless though, but again the specific details on that depend on the school.

Even if you decide to go with the honors class though (or don’t get a high enough score on the AP exam), you should be able to take a placement test at the school itself, and that may allow you to bypass certain classes.
