Dear all,

I am a sophomore at an IB school in the Bahamas. Right now I hate taking Spanish (I believe because of my teacher). In previous years I did not mind taking spanish but I was never very excited or interested in the subject. The question that I am posing to this forum is are there any undergraduate secondary language requirements for Columbia? I am planning on majoring in Economics or Business Administration. I believe that on the Columbia website it said that a 4 semester second language study was a requirement however I think it was listed for students trying to get a bachelors in arts and not the sciences. Is this true or does everyone need to do a second language?
