language proficiency requirement
All students must demonstrate an intermediate level of foreign language proficiency. The College offers courses in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Latin and Greek. Students may also demonstrate proficiency in a language different from the above by arranging an interview and a test directly with the Department of Modern Languages. The language requirement may be fulfilled in one of the following ways:
- Successfully completing level 003 of any foreign language taught at Saint Mary's College
- Completing 3 years of the same language in high school with a GPA of 3.0 (B) or higher;
- Scoring at least a 3 on the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Exam in that language;
- Achieving a TOEFL score of at least 525 (International students who are non-native speakers of English)
