| The Modern Language Requirement (MLR) | ||
| All students will be required to demonstrate competence in a modern language (i.e., a language other than English) equivalent to the proficiency attained from one year of college-level language study. This Modern Language Requirement (MLR) may be demonstrated by: | ||
placing into 104 or above on the DePaul language placement exam | ||
completing the last course or earning AP or BI credit for the last course in the first-year collegel sequence of any language (e.g., 103 for DePaul language classes) | ||
completing a college course or earning AP or IB credit for a college course beyond the first-year level in any language (e.g., 104 or above for DePaul language classes) | ||
completing the final course of a four-year sequence of the same modern language in high school * | ||
completing a proctored exam by BYU and passing the exam (see the Department of Modern Languages website for registeration details) | ||
completing a proctored Written Proficiency Test (WPT) by Language Testing International (LTI) and achieving a score of Beginner High or above (see the Department of Modern Languages website for registration details) | ||
| *Students are strongly encouraged to take the DePaul language placement exam even if they have met the MLR via study of a language in high school. This will ensure continuation of language at the proper level. | ||
| Please note: Modern Languages courses with an E-designation are taught in English and may not be applied to the Modern Language Requirement. | ||
| Students who complete an Inter-College Transfer (ICT) to the College will abide by the MLR in place on the effective date of the ICT, regarless of when they first matriculated at DePaul. | ||
