How Many Years of Language Should Students Take?
The more competitive the college is, the more language study they expect.
- 2 years – Minimum for most college admissions
- 3 years – Recommended by many selective schools
- 4 years – Expected for highly competitive universities (e.g., Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia)
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, students who complete advanced levels of foreign language study are more likely to attend and succeed in college.
