<p>Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I’m currently at a community college and I was interested in transferring to UC Davis as a International Relations major. In high school, I took 4 years of Italian ( 8 semesters). I have not taken any classes of it at my current college because they cut advanced classes in italian. For IR at Davis it says, “The major also requires fluency in English and a working knowledge (approximately 24 to 30 units of course credits or equivalent fluency) of one other modern language.” Would it mean that I have fulfilled this requirement with my high school classes? Its kind of confusing and if someone could help it would be appreciated. Also, does anyone know if you can double major or get a minor and a major in IR and political science? Thanks</p>
<p>Hi,
I am also a transfer student majoring in International Relations and I think you will be able to fulfill your language requirement by taking a proficiency exam. I was looking at the International Relations advising page and it says that “the language requirement may be met with equivalent course coverage as verified by transfer credit or Advanced Placemen t credit (see chart in General Catalog for specific course equivalency), or by UCD placement test. Check with the College of Letters & Science Deans Office to determine transfer language level and avoid duplication of credit.” Here’s the page: [UC</a> Davis: International Relations Program : IR Program Advising Handbook (Curriculum Effective September, 2010)](<a href=“http://ir.psdomain.ucdavis.edu/advising/advising_handbook.html]UC”>http://ir.psdomain.ucdavis.edu/advising/advising_handbook.html)
I think you should be fine but make sure to ask a counselor or adviser!! Hope this helps.</p>
<p>UC Davis has language placement tests to find where you are in terms of language proficiency:</p>
