<p>hey
was wondering if it's compulsory for us internationals to take up a foreign language in american univs? given that we already know english+ our mother tongue?</p>
<p>ask duke naa</p>
<p>Yep,It's compulsory to take a foreign language at Duke.
I don't think it is in other colleges.</p>
<p>i thought i was done with hindi ):</p>
<p>i think you have to do that in upenn as well.</p>
<p>A lot of places have a foreign language requirement, but you may well be able to place out of it with SAT II scores/AP credit of some kind or by taking a university administered test.</p>
<p>This is definitely true of Penn (at least for the moment) - English is my first language but I took French all through high school and was exempted with SAT/AP credit.</p>
<p>Well, my school requires 3 language courses and other gen-ed courses, but then I'm in an LAC. I don't know about other schools.</p>
<p>maybe you guys could just take English as a Second langauge?</p>
