The Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) CourseShare program allows students at Big Ten universities to take less commonly taught language courses offered online by other BTAA institutions.
Please note that BTAA courses taken by USC students earn academic credit, but they do not count toward fulfillment of the foreign language requirement. Students can learn in order to take a non-USC foreign language competency exam, which can fulfill the requirement.
USC’s participation will launch in Fall 2026. Please check back later.
