[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A quick tour of language requirements of area colleges/universities:

William & Mary: [i]Among the ancient languages in which one may demonstrate proficiency at William and Mary are Latin, Greek, and Biblical Hebrew. [/i]
http://www.wm.edu/as/modernlanguages/students/languageproficiency/index.php

UVA:[i]Languages taught at U.Va. that count towards the requirement are: American Sign Language, German, Italian, Persian, Spanish, Arabic, Greek, Japanese, Portuguese, Tibetan, Chinese, Hebrew, Korean, Russian, Urdu, French, Hindi, Latin, Sanskrit[/i]
http://college.as.virginia.edu/requirements/competency

VA Tech: [i]Students must meet a language study requirement either through high school enrollment or prior to receipt of the undergraduate degree. The minimum requirement may be met in high school by completing 2 units of a single foreign or classical language or American Sign Language.[/i]

JMU: Looks like Latin would count towards the language requirement.

UMDCP: Allows Latin to count towards its Global Engagement Requirement (formerly the foreign language requirement).

Georgetown: Allows Latin to count towards its foreign language requirement.

GWU: No foreign language requirement

American: Not sure; I can't find anything that indicates there is a university-wide foreign language requirement (modern foreign language appears to be required for a degree in international relations).

Just for good measure:

Harvard: [i]Degree candidates must meet a foreign language requirement in a language with a written component that is taught at Harvard or for which an appropriate examination with a written component can be given. [/i] (Latin is taught at Harvard.)

Princeton: Allows Latin to count towards its foreign language requirement.

Stanford: Allows Latin to count towards its foreign language requirement.

??? This misses the point. For admission, will they accept latin to meet their foreign language requirement?[/quote]
