Is foreign language required?
There is no foreign language requirement for applicants. However, W&M requires its graduates to be proficient through four semesters of a foreign language. If a prospective student has taken four years of a single foreign language, he/she is automatically exempt from the foreign language requirement at W&M. Therefore, we recommend four years of a foreign language, but it is not required.
No, but it may be taken to satisfy some of the General Eduacation requirements including UN1002. There are special rules for doing this.
