What Foreign Language Placement Tests Are Offered?
SPU offers placement tests for French, German, Latin, Russian, and Spanish.

Why Should I Take a Placement Test?
Your score on a placement test determines how many quarters of foreign language instruction you will need at SPU in order to fulfill the Foreign Language Competency requirement.

What if I Am Exempt and Want to Study a Different Language?
If you’re exempt or have met SPU’s Foreign Language Competency requirement, but you’d like to continue studying a language, then you need to take the appropriate placement test.

If you want to study a language that isn’t offered at SPU, contact the Chair of Languages, Cultures, and Linguistics.
