<p>My oldest son is a firstie who is a double Arabic/Spanish major. He also speaks Italian and French. You will find the forgeign language department is outstanding, and cadets studying mulitple languages is not unusual. The Arabic text currently used by most of the major university programs in the US was written by one of the department professors. During these times of tighter budgets, this department has had a huge increase in theirs – the Army having recognized the need for officers who can communicate effectively in a global environment. It is the aim of the department to send each of the cadets majoring in a language abroad for a full semester of study. My son just spent the fall semester at the University of Jordan in Amman. He’s had classmates spend a semster in Russia, Brazil, China, Egypt, France, Morrocco, Spain, Mexico, etc. There are also untold opportunites for further travel/study for varying lengths of time during the year. For a language major seriously considering a military career, I don’t think you could do much better than USMA.</p>
