Foreign Language Proficiency Assessment

The Graduate School administers Foreign Language Proficiency Assessments for enrolled, degree seeking graduate students who have a foreign language proficiency requirement as part of their degree program. The assessments are offered as an alternative to coursework (601/602 language courses) for those students who have proficiency in a language but may not have a documented means of showing it.

Assessments are automatically offered in French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish. These exams are offered to graduate students during the spring and fall semesters. The Graduate School coordinates with the appropriate departments on the selection process of proctors to administer and oversee the individual language assessments.

Please note: All exams will be provided virtually with the exception of Latin. Latin will be offered as face to face instruction.
