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!

Does ASL count as a foreign language for college admissions?
