FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT FOR THE B.A.

At USF Saint Petersburg, students can complete their foreign language requirement for the B.A in Spanish and can also get a Minor in Spanish and Latino Studies.

In addition to the foreign language entrance requirement (as required by FS 240.233) all students applying for a Bachelor of Arts degree from USF St. Petersburg must demonstrate competency in a foreign language. To demonstrate this competency, students may take either two semesters of a beginning college-level foreign language or one semester of a higher-level course and earn a letter grade of “C” (no “S” grades) or above in the appropriate level course or demonstrate equivalent competency by passing an examination.
