How important is 3 years of consecutive a foreign language to college?

<p>Note that Georgetown has a foreign language graduation requirement:</p>

<p>Completing the requirement involves four semesters of 3 credit courses, or two semesters of intensive 6 credit courses. Completion of more Spanish in high school may allow for placement into a more advanced Spanish course, allowing him to take fewer Spanish courses in college.</p>

<p>Spanish language proficiency will be useful for a government or political science major in some contexts of domestic politics, or international relations involving Spanish speaking countries.</p>
