Language Placement Exam
Students who have studied a language before entering college have the opportunity to take the language placement exam. This allows students to place into a higher level language course instead of starting over with a 101 course. Correct placement in a language class can help you graduate earlier, save on tuition payments and boost your resume with second language certification. Placement may also help you get a head start on a World Languages major or minor and expand your study abroad opportunities.
🌟 Student Life
While the time students spend inside the classroom is extremely important, the time outside the classroom can make all the difference too. Maximize your college experience by exploring ways to get involved, find your people, and most importantly, have fun!
