Alternatively, a student may complete two second-semester level courses in two different languages, including at least one language from outside the Indo-European family. A list of applicable courses may be obtained from the undergraduate advisor. This may require 0-16 units of coursework, depending on the language studied and the student's initial placement level. Students with prior language experience can pass all or part of the language requirement by examination or other evidence.
