[quote=Anonymous][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]

High school Latin teacher here. Absolutely yes. At virtually every college and university in the US. In 20 years of teaching, never had any if my Latin students have an issue with this.[/quote]
