This requirement can be fulfilled either by taking a 12-credit elementary language sequence, completing a minimum of 9 hours of language instruction in the context of an immersive cultural experience (generally through Adventist Colleges Abroad), or earning a score of 61 or above on a CLEP exam in a language other than English:
