Foreign Language/Literature in Translation Requirement The Department of English requires five quarters of foreign language, foreign literature, or foreign literature in translation. These classes may be taken on a P/NP grading basis. For students entering UCLA in 1988 and after, the College of Letters and Science requires each student to complete a college-level foreign language course equivalent to UCLA's level three. Therefore, to fulfill the English Department's requirement, students entering UCLA in 1988 or after must complete the equivalent of two additional classes of either foreign language or foreign literature in translation after completing the College of Letters and Science requirement. The Department will give credit towards the major's Foreign Language/Literature in Translation requirement for any work the student may test out of in a UCLA language department placement exam or in an AP exam. Please refer to the "Credit for Advanced Placement Tests" table in the General Catalog or http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/APCreditLS.htm. Transfer students, who have satisfied the College of Letters and Science foreign language requirement at the high school level through the IGETC program, may satisfy the departmental requirement with five foreign literature in translation courses. A list of UCLA literature in translation classes appears under the heading “Foreign Literature in Translation” in the 2007-2008 UCLA General Catalog on pp. 343-344, and at http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog07-08-286.html. If you are interested in a particular course not appearing on that list, ask an undergraduate counselor before you take the course if the class will apply to the requirement. If you use English 108A or 108B to fulfill the Department of English's foreign language requirement, it may count as a course toward the College of Letters and Science upper division requirement but not as an upper division course for the English major. English majors who have declared the World Literature Concentration are waived from the Foreign Language/Literature in Translation requirement.
