Foreign Language Placement Coordinators

Coordinators are teaching faculty in the Modern Languages & Literatures Department. They will help determine which course is the best option given each student's previous experience with the language. Coordinators may base their placement recommendation on an interview (by phone or in person), quiz, and/or short writing sample.
