Bonjour!

Language requirements can be a tad confusing for undergrads so here it is in a nutshell. FIU requires that you have competency in one foreign language, this can be fulfilled if you have taken 2 successive years of the same language in high school, or if you have have take 2 successive semesters of the same language in college (such as French 1 and 2) or if you have taken the CLEP (note that FIU only offers the CLEP in Spanish, French and German). The university is not looking for any credits, just competency, so if you have transferred the maximum amount of credits you can still CLEP a language. Now it is very important to note that each school has it's own language requirements that students must fulfill, such as the school of arts and sciences which requires you to have an additional language. Therefore if you took 2 years of French in high school it would fulfill the university requirement but if you are in the school of arts and sciences you will need an additional language. Remember to check with school umbrella that your major falls under so that you can have all your language requirements, because you may or may not need an additional language.
