I heard foreign language classes were removed as class options. Is it not possible to minor in a foreign language class then? Is there an alternative with another school nearby maybe?

    We do offer some options for foreign languages but no longer offer foreign languages as minors. Many students do choose to study a language at one of many nearby universities. Any credits earned through these courses do transfer as elective credit for your Rensselaer degree.
