The confusion stems from the revamping of our liberal arts base that everyone takes. Here’s the official word:

"It is a two semester foreign language requirement which is awesome that other schools aren’t requiring of their students. Think about it, this is actually is yet another attribute that will help distinguish Lyle graduates to potential employers. They are getting an ABET accredited degree AND MORE!

The foreign language requirement ensures that we are educating well rounded engineers that will thrive in an evolving global market. It is this very global market that will put a premium on the ability to communicate across cultures. At SMU Lyle, our engineering students will have more than just top-notch technical skills. Our students will leave SMU with vital written and spoken communication skills that will help them share their latest innovation around the world"
