Do engineering majors have to take a foreign language?

<p>Sorry to have to ask this. Tried to get info from the web site, but it was very confusing. The course list in the engineering dept. does not indicate a foreign language requirement, but the general requirements for a BA do. However, engineering is a BS degree, but there is nothing on the website for BS degrees.</p>

<p>Any clarity from anyone out there?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>As a PSU engineering alum, the answer is a categorical NO. While all BA degrees have a language requirement, BS degrees do not unless there is a specific need. Scheduling a full series of language courses is difficult for engineering majors but not impossible for those who have that interest.</p>
