“pickpocket” made some fine suggestions and submitted a strong list of historical STEM universities which do not require foreign language background. However, if your goal is a government studies major you will usually be in a more traditional LA program.

If you feel comfortable in a STEM world, you can still look into STEM university programs where you can design your own programs. Your major might be in the social science areas like Psychology or Economics. Design the program to fit in a language minor and integrate some serious overseas studies and research. Plan your BS so you can go on to Georgetown, Tufts University, Woodrow Wilson or a Washington DC University for Masters.

Undergraduate admission to many of these universities may still be competitive as their average GPA’s are higher.
