Foreign Language Speakers: Earn Six Free GE Credits By Taking Placement Test

If you already speak a foreign language, for example, Spanish, you can earn up to six free general education credits at NEIU by taking a placement test for the foreign language you command. Amazingly, you can take this language placement exam online at home

Students who do well on the placement exam are eligible to get up to six credits by placing out of basic foreign language courses (for example, Spanish 1 and 2). 


This fulfills six of nine credit hours toward your general education distributive social/behavioral science requirement. 


You must fill out a form to get these credits. 


Note: There are several languages that you can test out of to earn credits.
