- Summary:
-
This survey, conducted by the Modern Language Association of America, of B.S. degree requirements in foreign languages is intended to supplement a survey on requirements for the B.A. degree published in 1953. The compilation of statistics, collected from questionnaires sent to 1,005 registrars of accredited four-year colleges and universities, shows that of the 568 schools offering the B.S. degree, 393 (69.2%) require foreign language study for the degree and 131 (23.1%) require foreign languages for entrance. Comparable percentages reported in the B.A. survey were 83.9% and 28.3%. Many of the institutions that do not list a foreign language requirement do expect students to complete courses in second languages for certain major fields. Institutions which may not grant the B.S. degree offer science and mathematics majors a B.A. degree; such non-liberal arts graduates are, thus, required to know foreign languages. The survey is arranged by state and then by institution with symbols indicating whether or not a requirement exists. (DS)
