FL Placement Exam

At the University of Montevallo, you will have the opportunity to take a foreign language placement exam, which is designed to place you into the appropriate level of language if you have previous knowledge of the language or took it in High School or in another institution.  There are many benefits to taking a placement exam.  Should you pass into an intermediate level of language, you may be able to finish your language requirement sooner.  In addition, if you pass into a higher level, you may choose to major or minor in the language, thus allowing yourself the opportunity to get into the upper-level courses sooner than if you had started in the beginner classes.  Selecting to major or minor in a language will provide you another skill in your life that may be advantageous to your career plan: International Business, Teaching, Interpreting, Translating, Missions... the possibilities are endless.  For more information click here.
