Hi all,
I have this doubt regarding to the foreign language requirement. I'm a CA resident, but my native language is not English. I've decided to take Spanish 4 to fulfill the foreign language requirement for IGETC and use that same class to fulfill a requirement for the humanities section in IGETC. Since I'm a STEM major, I'd really hate to trade one of my math or comp. science classes for a different humanities course. On top of that, because of my background, I'm fluent in four languages other than English but my CCC only offers advanced courses in Spanish.
My counselor told me that my CCC will certify IGETC by Spring 18, but she said that UCs might not approve of the fact that I took a foreign language class in my own native language. Do you have information on whether UCs actually care about foreign language and the background/native language of the applicant? I mean, it's not like I'm getting it easy here, imagine if you moved to Russia and the university complained because even if you've got As in Russian Literature and Russian Composition, you took a course in English to fulfill the foreign language requirement. What about the bilingual people who actually major in a foreign language?
