[Counselors] NAIA and NCAA Foreign Language Responses #2

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

Is anyone familiar with the rules about taking a foreign language course in high school so that a student can play college sports?


  *   It's crucial for us to ensure that students not only comprehend the rules and guidelines but also become proficient in navigating them. This entails providing accurate guidance and resources, which empower students to become experts in their high school planning and college inquiries. By understanding the rules and requirements for high school and actively engaging in the process, students take ownership of their educational journey and develop essential skills for success. http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Student_Resources/CBSA.pdf - Sabrina Wood

  *   I did a little bit of research on this myself yesterday too. I did find out that if the college is a JUCO and is NJCAA they just have to have a high school diploma to be eligible. The NCAA D1 and D2 colleges are the ones that require a foreign language credit. I will link the NJCAA eligibility requirements below. We don't have many students that go on to play college ball, but we've had some that mainly go to Murray State and they are NJCAA, which prompted me to check on that. Hope this helps!
