<p>I'm a junior in high school now and am looking around. I'm thinking of majoring in either Animal Sciences or Forensic Science, but I want to be able to take some courses in college before I decide. Penn State is one of the few schools that has both. Of course I've seen what they have on their website, but I'm assuming that's 90% bull. I take French now and was wondering if Penn State offers foreign languages. What do you think and do you have any regrets?</p>
<p>Virtually every college in America offers foreign languages, as a lot require it for graduation anymore. PSU has a lot of languages. Go to schedule.psu.edu and you can see all of the course offerings. </p>
<p>Penn State has an excellent language program for French, with many classes that focus on civilization, contemporary France, etc, and not just literature (to a greater extent than other universities - that’s due to their PHD program strengths). There’s an intensive program in the summer. Many students add a Foreign Language minor even if they’re majoring in something unrelated, and there’s a program with Québec over the summer, which makes it easy to travel to. ( A minor is like a “small” major, you’d have the basic classes like reading/speaking/writing/listening/culture, plus literature and history, plus your choice of electives.)</p>
