Students with four (4) years of a high school Foreign Language or with a grade of 85 or higher on a Regents Foreign Language exam have fulfilled the BCC Foreign Language requirement and the SUNY General Education Foreign Language requirement and are exempted from taking a Foreign Language course at the Associate’s level.

However,

  • students exempted from the Foreign Language requirement are cautioned that programs at transfer schools may require Foreign Language courses beyond the SUNY General Education requirement.
  • exemption from a Foreign Language does not lower the total LAAA degree program credit-hour requirement for students. Exempted students will need to take additional elective credits.

Students with two (2) years or fewer of high school Foreign Language should take a course at the Beginning I level (101); all others should take a course at the Beginning II level (102).
