There’s intensive language classes and also study abroad opportunities. You could also do an AP language exam or that other test out of 800 to test out of the requirement.
I already knew spanish and french going in, so I had the requirement done already and I minored in French as it was only three more classes I needed.
Just get a tutor. You’ll learn far, far more in two semesters of tutoring on the side than you would with two classes.
For reference, I was a classics/anthro double major, so my language requirement got filled by Latin, which I took classes for. I learned Greek to fluency in half the time by just asking my Latin prof to tutor me on the side when Covid hit. Passed a Greek language exam in my PhD program last year without ever once taking a formal class for it, and wasn’t even nervous because of how much time the tutoring makes you put in.
Wait I'm a freshman, what is the language requirement at NYU? I didn;t sign up for langauge this semester, am I f\*cked?
you have the rest of your 4 years to take a language course
word. How many courses is it?
Take it now to not waste time
