Colleges that don't require foreign language credit for a degree

It may depend on your major. In the dark ages when I went to school, a BA, thus any majors in the college of Arts and Sciences (including English, history, bio, chem, geology) did require a foreign language (but I think you could take ASL) but most of the BS degrees (engineering, business, recreation) did not. I don’t think the BFAs in music did, but I think Dance was in the A&S college. I’m just trying to remember the majors of my friends.

At my daughter’s school, again A&S requires a foreign language but most of the other colleges do not (business, engineering, agriculture).

There are also languages that don’t require spoken fluency, like Latin or Greek.
