Take Your Placement Assessment

Taking Your Placement Exams

To determine which classes are right for you, you’ll take a mathematics (math) and foreign language assessment. All students regardless of transfer credit will need to take the math assessment. If a student has transfer credit for foreign language you may not need to take the assessment.

Foreign Languages

The Modern Foreign Languages program at Morehouse College offers the following language courses: Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. 

Students who want to learn Chinese or Portuguese do not need to take the foreign language placement test. Previous learning experience of Chinese or Portuguese is NOT required. If you have previous learning experience in Chinese or Portuguese, please send an email to your advisor.
