Skill Area III. Foreign Language Proficiency
The University language requirement can be satisfied in any one of the following ways: 
    - Three sequential years of one foreign language at the high-school level. 
 
    - Elementary proficiency as demonstrated by successfully completing a second-semester level CCSU foreign-language course (112 or 118).  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.  
 
    - Passing the CLEP, a standardized examination which demonstrates knowledge of a foreign language equivalent to completion of a second-semester course or higher. 
 
    - Successful completion of a foreign-language course at a level higher than the second- semester level. 
 
    - 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).
