Rice does have a serious Jewish studies program, so a student there with these sorts of interests might well pick up some Biblical Hebrew. For the current crop of Anthropology professors Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Swahili (the field archaeology project this last decade seems to have been Pemba Island, Tanzania) and Icelandic. For an odd option, there looks to be a lot of depth in the catalog the last few years for Tibetan.
Gave her Spanish, Portuguese, French and Latin, as well as a touch of the Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew.

Her strange reluctance to fly will preclude her from going to Pemba Island. She'll sail to Caribbean islands, if necessary, but no flying.

Still have to decide if she warrants Broken to Accented levels of any Caribbean Creoles or Patois, as well was whether she's picked up any Native American languages.

And snagged!

Being a genius, I guess she can work on her Anthropology PhD while also taking courses in the Religion department.
