Ph.D Language Requirement

Hello Tom,

I have yet another question for the almighty masses.

Are there any PhD programs that do not require a foreign language?

I would love to jump right into a PhD program after I finish my MAED, but this is a huge barrier for me.

Thanks!

F0FL, I'm doubtful of it. I think nearly all PhDs will require that language requirement. Anyone have other information?
