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.
* 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.
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!
