You should note that each of the eleven(11) state universities apply this requirement differentlydepending on the programs you complete. If you plan toattend a State of Florida university, you should seek informationfrom the university regarding foreign language requirements.South Florida Community College’s Advising/Counseling staff can assist you in determining the requirementsof your university program. You are encouraged toselect a foreign language as an elective and complete it atSouth Florida Community College.Statistics Skills, Including Probability:101.
