The most commonly asked question among incoming students this week was about enrolling in language courses at GW. Here's more information on that topic:
All language courses at GW, with the exception of the professional skills language courses (IAFF 6504) are undergraduate courses, but graduate students can enroll in these courses.
To enroll in professional skills language courses, you will need to take an online diagnostic test and follow the process outlined here.
To enroll in a traditional language course, you will need to take a placement exam offered through that language's department:
Department of Romance, German, and Slavic languages
Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations
Department of East Asian Languages & Literatures
As a reminder, not all programs allow language courses to count for credit toward the degree, and not all programs allow the foreign language requirement to be met through coursework. Check your program's Foreign Language Proficiency Requirement page for more information on meeting the requirement.
