What level language is needed for semi-competitive college admissions?

If Michigan is too selective to be 'semi-competitive", the first college that came up in a Google search was Wabasch College, which is a small LAC in Indiana that accepts most applicants. Their website says, “2 years of one foreign language; 4 years are preferred” – similar to UMichigan CLS.

More examples of foreign language admission requirements or recommendations that encompass “semi-competitive” (however defined) admission colleges:

CSU and UC systems in California: level (year) 2 or equivalent required.

UC: level (year) 3 or equivalent recommended.

CPSLO: extra admission points for each semester beyond 4 semesters (up to 8 semesters).
