About the Joint FL/AA Degree Program  

This joint Program was developed to enable DLFLC students to complete their general education degree through Foothill College’s online program. To satisfy the general education requirements for an Associate of Arts in Foreign Language degree (AA/FL), DLIFLC students must complete at least 28 semester units from the following subject areas: Communication, Critical Thinking, Natural Science, Humanities, Social Science, Technology, Area Studies, Physical Education, and Mathematics.  DLIFLC does not teach all the required general education courses a student needs to receive an AA/FL degree. Currently, many students who enroll in the AA/FL degree program relocate and do not complete their courses with MPC, not finishing their AA/FL degree.  

This collaboration allows DLIFLC students to earn an AA/FL degree or certificate by completing the required foreign language courses through DLIFLC, and the general education course requirements, that DLIFLC does not offer, entirely online, through Foothill College. 

Through this joint program, DLIFLC students can enroll in online courses offered by Foothill College following the procedures outlined for all students. Foothill courses are offered in sequence, following a quarterly calendar: Three 12-week quarters and one six-week intensive summer term. 

This Program does not preclude DLIFLC from accepting credits earned from other institutions of higher education or through the Alternative Methods for Earning College Credit section of the DLIFLC Associate of Arts in Foreign Language Degree Requirements document.
