- By successfully completing a course given at UCSD representing the fourth quarter (or beyond) of instruction in any single foreign language with a grade of C- or better. Students are encouraged to satisfy this requirement as early as possible in order to use the language for reference in linguistics courses. Students with native language competence in a language other than English may petition to have English satisfy the proficiency requirement.
