I am interested in applying to SAIS, but am nervous about the language proficiency component. None of the languages I speak are offered at SAIS, and the website makes it sound like students can only fulfill the language proficiency requirement with languages offered by the university. I'd be okay with starting a new language, but want to make sure this is done by some students. Are students able to start a new languages at SAIS and learn enough to pass the language requirement? Is that common?
Thanks for the help. I'd hate to apply only to find out I can't attend the program due to the limitation on accepted languages.
