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.
