ccTransfer,
If the degree requirements don’t talk about French or German, it’s probably because they don’t expect undergrads to read original scholarly materials written in those languages. Nevertheless, why not start learning either French or German?
I can’t tell you about the specifics on college admissions. (I am a computer science professional.) Take relevant courses that your school offers and ace them, and try to get glowing recommendations from faculty members who got to know you. If your application demonstrates your passion and that you actually have a clue, (Having watched Hawass blabber on Discovery Channel is not it. lol) you have a shot at Brown and other terrific schools.
