CSUSM believes strongly in preparing its students for the demands of a diverse and globalizing world. So, every student—regardless of major and before graduation— must demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English.
The LOTER is a graduation requirement for all students. Meeting it confirms that you have reached an intermediate level of linguistic and cultural proficiency in a second language. It does not require fluency.
There are various options for how to meet the LOTER. We hope these choices make meeting the requirement simple and rewarding.
If you believe you have already fulfilled the LOTER, but your student record does not yet show it as "met", please contact your Primary Academic Advisor.
To prevent a delay in graduating, do not wait until junior or senior year!
