Language Placement & Proficiency Exams

Find the right level of language study for you through consultation with faculty and our placement and proficiency exams.

You may take Greek or Latin to fulfill the College Second Language Requirement.

If you’ve never studied Greek or Latin before, feel free to start with us! We offer Latin 101 every fall, and Greek 101 every spring. There are no prerequisites for these introductory-level courses.

If you have studied Greek before, please contact Assistant Professor Vincent Tomasso to determine your placement and/or proficiency.

If you have studied Latin before, please take our placement Latin Language Exam.

  • The Latin Language Exam helps us to determine the best fit for you within our sequence of language courses or whether you’ve already achieved the level of competency that fulfills the college second language requirement.
