Two years of a high school world language or one year of college-level world language or demonstrated proficiency in the elementary level of a language other than English, sufficient to enroll in an intermediate level course, is required for admission to SAS.

Students with two or more years of a world language in high school or whose native language is other than English may not receive degree credit for elementary-level courses (typically, but not always, numbered 101-102) or courses numbered below their placement in that language. Degree credit in that language begins with an intermediate or review course even if the Rutgers Placement Test indicates elementary-level placement or if there has been an interruption in language study.
