Foreign Language Placement Testing
There are many benefits to taking your language placement test as soon as you start your studies at Central. Once enrolled in a course at the right level for you, you can begin a language major (10 courses) or a minor (only 6 courses), which pair well with any primary major.
You can also meet your language requirement during your first semester. Contact Dr. Lourdes Casas (casasmal@ccsu.edu) to schedule a placement test and to learn more about how a language major or minor can serve your long-term professional goals!
