Actually you still are required to take a language if you get a B.S. (at least if you are in the college of arts and sciences) …I know this because I graduated last year from the college, and the only difference when it comes to the language req. between a B.A. and a B.S. is that for the B.A. you need 4 semesters of language and for the B.S. you need 3 (It’s stupid). I know because I switched from getting a B.S. to getting a B.A. Now, whether there are any alternatives to this besides studying abroad/taking the international business courses, I do not know.

Also, I didn’t start taking a language until my sophomore year, and I had plenty of time to finish the language req without purchasing rosetta stone. I wasn’t behind, lost, or anything. In fact, half the people in my first semester soph yr. language class were sophomores, and many of my friends didn’t start a language until they were sophomores. It’s perfectly OK to wait.
