College+and+University+Foreign+Language+Requirements

Below are foreign language requirements for various colleges and universities. The list includes both PA schools and out-of-state schools. The list is not extensive, but is a great resource when working with college bound students. I know from my experience, college bound students are concerned about the foreign language requirement. Although this list was sent to me in the Fall 2011, it is a good starting point towards addressing their concerns. Hopefully, you will find this to be a valuable resource as well.
