The study of languages is profitable whether you are majoring in arts or sciences. Much scientific material is written in German and French, and Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the United States. All science majors are encouraged to learn German and/or French, while business majors will discover that the ability to speak and understand Spanish, French, German, or Russian will give them advantages in employment over those who are not bilingual.
