<p>You’re quite right that it’s not fair to compare USC’s language offerings to the much larger UCLA. My comment was more in reference to the “what a school” accolade that USC now offers 14 languages.

But, different universities choose to specialize in different areas (though, I understand USC has solid programs in the ones it’s chosen to emphasize).</p>
