Many require no foreign language at all at the undergraduate level, and as a consequence . . .
Presently, 23 U.S. states do not require the two years of foreign language study that is required for admittance into many colleges.
Meanwhile the chowderheads at Princeton's Classics Department have dropped the Greek and Latin requirement entirely for Classics majors.
The basic idea there is to invite the barbarians in, to make Classics better, you know, as in the fall of the Roman Empire to the Visigoths in 410 AD better:
“Having people who come in who might not
have studied classics in high school and might not have had a previous
exposure to Greek and Latin, we think that having those students in the
department will make it a more vibrant intellectual community.”
Thankfully, the Visigoths at Princeton still have some standards. They require German majors to pass 2-3 courses actually taught in German.
