Language Proficiency Exam
Smeal requires that students demonstrate proficiency in a world language at or above the 12th credit level. In some cases, you may already be proficient in a language other than English as a native speaker, or because of courses or instruction that you received prior to arriving at Penn State. In those cases, you have the opportunity to take a for-credit or non-credit language proficiency exam to establish that you have met or exceeded Smeal’s language requirement. If you believe that this applies to you, we suggest that you speak with your Smeal academic adviser, and also read the Language Department’s proficiency certification policy.
