Rutgers College recommends that its students establish proficiency in a foreign language in one of the following ways: (1) by completing a fourth-term Rutgers course, or its equivalent at another institution, in one foreign language, or (2) by achieving a placement test result beyond the fourth college term.
If students continue a language previously studied or that is their native language, placement is determined by the language department on the basis of a placement test. Students may not receive degree credit for courses numbered 101-102 or courses numbered below their placement in a language they previously studied for two or more years in high school or claim as their native language.
