I am an international student and English is my second language. Am I required to complete the foreign language requirement?

In order to have the foreign language requirement waived or otherwise considered complete, you must meet at least one of the following criteria established under the General Education guidelines:

• You are a student from a non-English speaking country where all school instruction was taught in a language other than English and who can present documentation that you came to the United States after the age of 12.
• You are a student with ESL courses on your college transcript or you have taken a TOEFL exam.
• You are a student whose native language is not English and who can demonstrate proficiency at the third level (first semester intermediate) or higher in a language other than English through evaluation by a Binghamton faculty member or by a person identified by the Translation Research and Instruction Program (if available).
