Most colleges require foreign-language classes among their core requirements. Most often, native speakers of a language other than English are not required to take a foreign-language class. Instead they may be given an exam to demonstrate proficiency.

However, to answer your question, if you wanted college credit for Spanish courses, taking the high school Spanish classes for 4 years would not earn you those college credit hours. I’m sure that the answers would vary by state and by university or college.

How long should you study a foreign language in high school?

Most selective colleges and universities want to see at least two years of high school foreign language study. Highly selective schools such as the Ivies often want to see three or four years of a language. If your high school doesn’t offer enough language courses, online classes and self-study for the AP are other options.

Which colleges don’t require foreign language requirements?

Many private schools like Drake University, Grand View University, Grinnell College, St. Ambrose University and Simpson College don’t require any additional foreign language once a student has graduated from high school, except for those with a major in a foreign language or something like international business.
