Foreign Language Requirement for the General Education Program
. The Foreign Language Unit offers Spanish and French.

take an appropriate assessment test in a chosen foreign language and the results
will be used to determine the student's level of proficiency.

an Advanced Placement test score of 3 or above or a CLEP score of 50 or better.
