Communications Major

If I have read this correctly, Bridgewater State does not require a language: http://catalog.bridgew.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=10&poid=2781

I never did that well in high school language classes but really improved in an immersive situation. Would he consider doing a summer program at a place like the Concordia language villages?

Knowledge of one or more foreign languages would actually be useful for a communications major.

It might be helpful if we knew approximately the level of school the student is aiming for. There are worlds of difference between Brown/MIT and Bridgewater State.

I believe that at many schools communications majors can take ASL.

At the 20 or so colleges my kids applied to between them the majority did NOT require a language. So this is a rather broad question. This is not the right question for your first filter on colleges.
