One excellent tool for understanding the breadth of human experience is the study of a foreign language. Language, as a direct reflection of thought, provides glimpses into the ways in which people of different cultures perceive the world. Additionally, in an increasingly interconnected world, employers highly prize competency in a foreign language. Accordingly, we define a foreign language requirement as competency at the intermediate level. To qualify, a requirement must include at least three semesters of college-level study in any foreign language, or three years of high school work, or an appropriate examination score.
