Foreign Language Placement Exam
MAY 26
COMPLETE BY
You may or may not need to take a Foreign Language Placement Exam; it depends on several variables. You will need to take the FLPE if all the following three statements are true:
Programs leading to a B.A. Degree Anthropology * Art History Biology * Communication Sciences and Disorders * Communication Studies * Dance Earth Science Economics * English Geography * History Independent Scholars * International Affairs Justice Studies * Mathematics * Media Arts and Design * Modern Foreign Languages Musical Theatre Philosophy and Religion Physics * Political Science Psychology * Sociology * Studio Art * Theatre Writing, Rhetoric and Technical Communication * Programs leading to a B.B.A. Degree International Business
◆ You are pursuing a program of study that leads to a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Business Administration degree that requires a foreign language (see the list on right); and ◆ You have taken two or more years of French, German, Italian,
Russian or Spanish in high school; and ◆ You have not taken the SAT II in that language. Still not sure if you need to take the FLPE? Take the questionnaire at jmu.edu/langcenter/flpe/quest.
You are not allowed to use outside sources (including friends or family) on the exam. You may take the exam only once per language every three semesters. There is not a time limit, so please take your time! Taking it more than once will interfere with your enrollment process and may put you in the wrong class. * These programs provide the option to pursue either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. B.S. programs do not have foreign language requirements, so you would not have to take the placement exam unless you wanted to continue your language studies at JMU. Each program has different requirements. If you are not sure which degree program to pursue, it is best to take the Foreign Language Placement Exam now to stay on track with program requirements.
For more information see jmu.edu/langcenter/flpe.
