Skill Area III. Foreign Language Proficiency

0-6 credits

Proficiency in a foreign language must be demonstrated before graduation. This requirement may be met by any of the following:

1. Three sequential years of one foreign language at the high-school level.
2. Elementary proficiency as demonstrated by successfully completing a second semester-level CCSU foreign language course (112), or the equivalent at another institution. Students with no previous background in a language must take the first and second semesters (111 and 112, or 118); students who place out of 111 due to previous background in the language may satisfy the requirement by taking 112 only.
3. Passing a standardized examination that demonstrates knowledge of a foreign language equivalent to completion of a second semester course or higher.
4. Demonstration of native proficiency in a language other than English (requires evaluation of skill level by an appropriate faculty member and/or official documentation, and approval by the chair of the Department of Modern Languages).
