Additionally, students shall demonstrate proficiency in at least one (and where deemed necessary, two) philosophically significant foreign language(s): typically, classical Greek, Latin, French, German, Arabic, classical Chinese, Japanese, Sanskrit, or Pali. Language proficiency examinations will be conducted through the Graduate Division and the department of the UH responsible for teaching that language.
