General Education
As part of the General Education curriculum, Meredith requires students to complete a course of study in one foreign language. At Meredith, students can fulfill the requirement through the study of Chinese, Italian, French, or Spanish.

Placement Testing
Students who have studied a foreign language in the past (e.g., high school) without earning college credit will take a placement test online to determine which class is appropriate for their level. Those who excel on the test will be invited to complete additional testing in person to verify their proficiency. Additional testing occurs over the summer and at the beginning of each semester. If you have any questions, please contact WLC鈥檚 placement coordinator, Professor Fanella Tague.
