Language Placement Exam
-
For native speakers of English, proficiency in French, German, Spanish, Greek or Latin is required for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students demonstrate proficiency only by successful completion of 201 (or a higher level, three-credit course) in one of these languages, taken on the Hillsdale campus.
If you have some prior competency in one of the above languages and want to continue study of that language here at Hillsdale, you are required to take the placement exam in that language. We want to be sure that you begin study at the appropriate level.
