Four semesters in a foreign language

<p>I’m coming from a community college and completed Beginning Spanish 2 and Intermediate Spanish 1. I didn’t need to take Beginning Spanish 1 because I had two years of high school Spanish. Could I take Intermediate Spanish 2 and a junior level course (ex. SPN 318 or 319) at UT to fulfill the four semester requirement?</p>

<p>You only need 2 semesters of language I thought…?</p>

<p>Four semester is required if you’re in Liberal Arts. Otherwise, only two is needed…</p>

<p>It actually depends on your major. Most BS degrees only require 2 semesters (even those in COLA), while BA degrees require 4.</p>

<p>^Yeah, like BS Psych, for example.</p>

<p>For my major, I’ll need four semesters. Can I take an advanced Spanish course to cover that fourth semester, or will I have to find a way to get credit for Beginning Spanish 1?</p>

<p>What the liberal arts people told us was that, counter-intuitively, if you take beginning Spanish and intermediate Spanish I and II, you actually have “fourth-semester proficiency” even though it’s actually only three semesters. Plus, I think the only lower-division Spanish courses at UT are 6 hours anyway.</p>
