4. Language requirements:
"The departmental language requirement has two components:
- Reading knowledge of two languages of scholarship other than English. Native speakers of qualifying languages may count their native language for this purpose...
-
Knowledge of the structure of a non-Indo-European language. ...Practical reading and/or speaking knowledge cannot be used to satisfy this requirement."
The second component seems more of a course-taking requirement, rather than need to "know" another language in a conventional sense. In the first one, there is no specification of what counts as "languages of scholarship" - I guess it would be French or German, maybe Russian or Japanese also?
