When I was an undergraduate, a "serious" STEM major (although they didn't call it "STEM" back then) would typically take a "xxxx" for reading knowledge" course, where "xxxx" was either German or Russian.  There was a lot of good stuff being published in those languages, and in the pre-computer/pre-internet age you would be missing out on many advancements in your field unless you could read at least one of those languages.
