Foreign Language Placement


 

At ¾¨Ó㴫ý, Foreign Language is one of seven broad areas of study we call Intellectual Perspectives (IPs). IPs are the portion of ¾¨Ó㴫ý’s curriculum designed to assure that all students are familiar with a broad range of subjects.

A language course at the 201 level must be taken to fulfill the foreign language intellectual perspective (FL IP). Students who continue a language they have studied in high school can use the following guidelines to determine which course may be an appropriate point of entry.
