CAS Foreign Lanuage Required?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Syracuse University

<p>I've taken Spanish for three years in high school, and on the Syracuse website it says if you have taken a foreign language for three years or more in High School you don't have to take a foreign language while in CAS?</p>

<p>I would really prefer to take something else besides a foreign language in College, and I'm not very good at it either. Will I have to take a foreign language while I am at CAS at Syracuse, or will I not have to since I took three years in high school?</p>

<p>Do all CAS majors have to take a foreign language?</p>

<p>Anyone know?</p>

<p>I’m not 100% sure, but I think you must either fulfill the the language requirement or the quantitative skills requirement.</p>

<p>I took 4 years of Spanish and 2 of Latin. I took one term of French for Fall and am looking at two more (I’m a freshman).
So er I’m pretty sure you still need to fill the quantantative or foreign lang. req. But I guess that’s a good question for admissions?</p>

<p>I’m an economics major in CAS and I opted to fulfill the Quantitative requirements (math classes). So everyone who said that you can chose quantitative skills classes is correct.</p>

<p>It is my understanding that the only school at Syracuse that has a foreign language requirement (either by placing out by test or by taking two semesters on campus etc) is Newhouse…</p>

<p>House of London would know best re: CAS</p>

<p>Alright, so as a Biology major in CAS I won’t be forced to take a foreign language to graduate?</p>
