Foreign Language Requirement
Students entering the University of Illinois as freshmen in Fall 2000

to graduate. To satisfy this requirement, students must complete a
third level college foreign language course. This requirement may
also be satisfied by three years of the same foreign language in high

years of the same foreign language in high school must take a foreign
language placement test to determine the courses in which to enroll.
In addition to the University requirement, Art history students must
