Research Skills Foreign Language Exam

Room 113 Joe Brown Hall
Academic Calendar

The Research Skills Foreign Language Exam is offered to graduate students the fourth week of every semester. There is an exam fee of $25, to be paid at the time of registration. Checks preferred.

The exam is administered by the Graduate Coordinator's assistant. You may bring (or borrow) one dictionary (not an internet dictionary) for use during the exam. The examination period is two hours. Students are given three passages of 500-600 words to choose from, one each from a text in the humanities, the social sciences, and the physical sciences. Students choose a passage and translate that passage into English.

Exams are graded pass/fail on the basis of demonstrated ability in the language equivalent to, or better than, that achieved by a student at earning a B or better in a 2002 fourth semester language course, or 2500-level graduate reading knowledge course. Students will be informed by letter of their grades, with a copy to their departments, approximately two weeks after the examination.

Fall 2016:  Register by September 13th.

Exam on Wednesday, September 14th 10:00 am.
