When we meet transfer students, they are often surprised that we look for foreign language from the applicants who are interested in the "College" of Arts and Sciences, the McIntire School of "Comm"erce and the Curry BA/Master of Teaching program. This has always been a part of the degree programs and you will do yourself a great service by taking these courses before you come to UVA. In fact, the Comm school expects you to have them before you get here. The GAA absolutely requires it. But, the bottom line is that we look for it from all applicants to these schools.
You may take the courses through the 202 level and in some cases, you can take an AP or an SAT Subject exam to satisfy the requirement. For a list of how to satisfy language through testing, go to: http://college.artsandsciences.virginia.edu/requirements/competency/#foreign
