UCLA: Foreign Language Requirements Beyond IGETC

Alright, lets take a step back. As I understand it, IGETC has sections I-V, none of which directly involve foreign language. However, most JC-provided IGETC worksheets include both a foreign language requirement section, needed only for UCs, and a “US History, Constitution, & American Ideals” section, needed only for CSUs.

At Citrus College, the “LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH (UC REQUIREMENT ONLY)” section is satisfied by the 101-level course from each of four languages—the first semester.

At Chaffey College, the “LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH - UC Requirement Only” section is only satisfied by completing the second semester of each of the languages offered.

Logically, then, wouldn’t one semester at Citrus be the same as two semesters at Chaffey? If not, how do both satisfy the same requirement?
