@Yanny:
Two weeks of Latin in college, I’m starting to speak it : ) Much different than High School.
I could kind of understand why certain faculties might require a smattering of Latin.
In medicine, of coure, many roots, prefixes and suffixes are latin, as well most of the anatomy, many diagnoses (non-eponyms, of course) etc. are also in Latin. naturally Greek has a significant contribution both to English, as well as Latin, in medicine.
Also law (i’m guessing in America as well as) in Canada requires some knowledge of Latin although i understand this is changing as well.
Finally, for those looking to improve their vocabulary as well as facility with French, Spanish, Italian (natch), Portuguese, and Romanian - this would be well facilitated by an understanding of much of the framework/architecture of Latin (at least my French had helped me with the structure of Spanish and Portuguese).
