Mason Foreign Language Placement
Do you have some knowledge of your target language and yet you are not sure how much you know? Then placements tests are for you. These tests can diagnose whether you should begin at the start of one of our 12-credit language sequences (either 101 or 110) or whether you can begin in one of our more advanced 200-level classes.
You can take these tests in-person at our MCL testing lab or online anytime.

The online placement tests are not proctored and thus are used for self-evaluations. Students are encouraged to make a final decision after discussing with their instructors or language program coordinators.
