Can French 1 and 2 meet a world language requirement?

If your college asks for two semesters of one language, they can be that pair; your college decides. FIU, for example, says a student admitted without a language “must successfully complete two semesters of sequential instruction in one foreign language prior to graduation”. Where more is asked they are not enough on their own: Illinois asks for “Successfully completing a third-semester college-level course in a language other than English”.

At some colleges, yes. Illinois says “Generally, one year of high school language study is equivalent to one semester of college study.”, and UW–Madison says “A language unit at UW–Madison is defined as one semester of college language study, or one year of language study in high school.”

Not always. At UW–Madison, “For BA and JBA students, the Language requirement is met when a student has either the fourth unit of one language” “or the third unit in one language in combination with the second unit of another language.”, while “For BS and JBS students, the Language requirement is met when a student has the third unit of one language.”

French 1 (French 101) teaches beginning French for everyday topics like greetings, campus life, family, cafés, leisure and celebrations, with Francophone culture. French 2 (French 102) builds on French I to narrate and describe the past, with object pronouns, reflexive verbs, the conditional and the future tense.

French 1: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in French Language among other subjects. French 2: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in French Language among other subjects.

Both are recommended in the same subjects: French Language. Your college decides which requirement each one fills.

French 1: 6 chapters and 71 instructional hours. French 2: 6 chapters and 71 instructional hours. Both are self-paced, so you finish as fast or as slow as you want.

No prerequisites are listed for French 1 and French 2, so the order is up to you and your program.

The format is the same in both: a final of 100 multiple-choice questions that counts for 25% of the grade.

No: neither is on the ACE list. French 1 has an NCCRS recommendation for 3 semester hours in French Language; French 2 has an NCCRS recommendation for 3 semester hours in French Language. Not being on the ACE list never means not recommended for credit.

Yes, online: under light proctoring (no camera) if you already have 70% before it, otherwise under full proctoring. The quizzes and the assignment are open-book; the French 1 final is not.

Take it again: a failed French 1 final comes with one free retake (fail that and you restart the course). A passed final can be retaken too, but the original score stands; for quizzes, the average of your first two attempts counts.

ACE and NCCRS have over 2,100 cooperating colleges that will consider accepting credits; the final decision is with the universities. NCCRS recommends French 1 and French 2 for 3 semester hours each in French Language. Search your school in Find My College and ask your registrar whether they meet your language requirement. For the registrar: French 1's NCCRS recommendation lists French Language and French 2's NCCRS recommendation lists French Language.
