At Drew, students must demonstrate proficiency through the intermediate level in one foreign language. Competence may be demonstrated by any one of the following:
- Successful completion of an intermediate course (currently numbered 30) at Drew;
- A score of 680 or higher on the appropriate SAT II;
- A score of 4 or 5 on the appropriate Advanced Placement examination;
- Placement beyond the intermediate level on a Drew language placement examination as determined by the appropriate language department.
All incoming students, before registering for the Fall semester and absolutely no later than August 20, should take a placement test for each language they have studied in high school, whether or not they plan to continue it at Drew. Do not take a placement test if you have never studied or had any other exposure to the language. The language departments recommend that students who are continuing with a language they started in high school, do so in the first year, and that all students, even those beginning a new language, begin to work on the requirement within the first two years. If you will fill your language requirement with a language you begin at Drew, you will need to complete three semesters of the language.
