It would be better to list the schools that do accept ASL as a foreign language. Most do NOT, only recently has some schools started to accept ASL as a foreign language. George Mason University in Fairfax VA does.
Depends what you mean by "accept ASL as a foreign language." At Yale (I can't speak for Harvard), ASL is not offered as part of the standard curriculum and it cannot be used to fulfill the foreign language requirement. Through a special program that allows students to study languages beyond the standard curriculum, students can partake in the study of ASL individually or in a small group (often paired with a "native speaker"--in this case a deaf member of the community--as described in a Yale Herald article in October 2009.) But since your question is in the category of "applications and entrance requirements", you might be wondering whether you should include ASL in your foreign language abilities on your application. I say you should. It is certainly a noteworthy skill, and technicalities aside it is a legitimate way to convey a piece of information about yourself. Hope that helps!
ASL is NOT accepted at all colleges and universities as a foreign language, only a select few. You need to contact that specific school and ask. I know George Mason University in Fairfax VA just started accepting ASL as a foreign language a few years ago. More schools are accepting ASL slowly.
A foreign language is a language that is not often used in a country. When most universities talk about "foreign language," they mean a language other than the main one spoken in your home, or other than the main language that most of your subjects were taught in when you went to school. To be considered a foreign language, the language has to be a language used by humans - so it can't be a computer language like C++ or Java. But if you're a native English speaker, it could be Spanish, or French, or Russian, or Mandarin, etc. Or yes, often, it can be ASL. If your actual question is whether or not ASL is considered to be a "foreign language" for the purposes of college admissions; or if ASL would fulfill your foreign language requirement at university, then the answer to that is often "Yes." If you're a native English speaker, for example, ASL could serve as your "foreign language." But that does vary by university, so you'll have to ask each one directly.
Completing three semesters of foreign-language study is a requirement for admission to the community college. Stamina is a requirement for completion of the marathon.
