Is studying a foreign language a degree requrement, or a requirement for studying abroad?
Olin undergraduates are strongly encouraged to include foreign language study in their overall program, but there is no foreign language requirement for graduation. Foreign language study may be a requirement for participation in certain study abroad programs in countries where the first language is not English. For example, some proficiency in French or German would be required to participate in Olin’s programs in those countries. There is no language requirement for Olin’s program in London, of course; and there also is no language requirement to participate in Olin’s programs in Hong Kong, because English language proficiency is so common in that location.
