I think it depends on whether you study at a private or public 
university. I did my PhD at Rice (a private university) where we were not 
charged for individual courses, but payed a flat fee each semester (and 
since I began my studies there on fellowship, I was only charged a 
nominal fee after the fellowship ended). For the PhD I had to take exams 
for two languages besides French (not necessarily courses).
 Where I now teach, Texas Tech 
University, MA students in humanities disciplines like English, Foreign 
Literatures, History, etc. must take a reading sequence for graduate 
students in one other language. For PhD programs (my department has one 
in Spanish), students must take two reading sequences. They must pay for 
these courses, but they do not count toward degree credits.
