Foreign language requirement question

[kylan11]

You would need to pay for the ACTFL exam. Your citizenship status isn't enough. For Italian, you can do the Listening or Reading test for $51.

I see, thanks for the heads up. From the comment below it sounds like it might not be such bad news after all.

Needing foreign language credit is just a requirement - EVERYONE getting a degree at UMPI needs to meet it, no matter where they're from.

For the ACTFL, Italian is one of the languages that is available for all 4/5 tests: OPI/OPIc, WPT, RPT, and LPT.  If you were getting the BLS and didn't have a ton of elective credits, I'd suggest taking all of the exams.  But, since you are getting the BABA which only has 12cr of General Electives, I suggest that you either do one of the cheap ones (RPT or LPT) which will get you as much as 6cr for $51; or the OPIc, which can get you as much as 12cr for $108.

I thought I had 18-21 credits of GE, at least that's what it says here. You're saying I can get as much as 12 overnight with zero effort just by knowing my parents' language? Love it
