UC Davis vs Case Western for Physics

@aunt_bea @Gumbymom

Our S24 is considering UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara for physics and we are planning to visit the respective open houses on 4/6 and 4/13. (Note: S24 also got into UC San Diego, but in his 8th choice residential college Eleanor Roosevelt due to the GE requirements for Language Other Than English (LOTE). He only had 3 years of HS LOTE (due to schedule constraints – and frankly struggle.)

I’m struggling to figure out the LOTE requirement for B.S. Physics degree at UC Davis.

This UCOP website indicates no LOTE requirement for B.S. degrees UC Davis

However, I can’t find anything definitively on the UC Davis Letters & Sciences Degree Requirements nor the Physics website Undergraduate Degree Requirements :: Department of Physics and Astronomy - UC Davis.

In contrast, UC Santa Barbara’s College of Letters & Sciences GE LOTE requirements were clearly laid out.

This is definitely something we plan to ask the departments during the UC Davis Open House, but was wondering if either of you or others in College Confidential community would happen to know.
