A detailed study of the foreign language requirement for the Ph.D. degree has resulted in recommendations for a revision in its emphasis and scope. These recommendations have been adopted by the Graduate Faculty of the University of Colorado. The Graduate School now has a “communication” requirement of second‐year college proficiency in a foreign language of the student's choice with emphasis on having this requirement met by courses recorded in the student's undergraduate transcript. The “tool” requirements (which may, or may not, be satisfied by the “communication” skill) are left totally to the individual academic departments and schools.
