Did the UC foreign language requirements catch you by surprise?

Here is an interesting summer school idea that might be especially useful for students who were not taking UC (and other college's) foreign language requirements into account:

High School Summer Intensive Mandarin Studies

Students will enhance their language skills from a beginner (with no prior Chinese experience) to a high beginner/low intermediate level. Participation in one session, with a passing grade, is the equivalent of 60 hours of foreign language course work. Students will earn 5 district course credits for foreign language from San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Completion of two sessions, totaling 120 hours of language instruction, can receive up to an entire year of foreign language credit from SFUSD.

Registration is due by May 1st.
