  You may obtain lower-division foreign language credit by either passing a higher numbered course with a C or better or through examination. Visit the World Languages & Cultures website (see "Foreign Language Credit for Prior Language Experience") for more information. As many of the credits will be counted as electives, it may be beneficial to discuss how many electives you need for your degree with your advisor before posting the credits.
