- Demonstrating proficiency through AP scores or department testing: Language proficiency may be shown by achieving a score on an Advanced Placement Exam or passing a proficiency examination. For more information, please visit the Spanish language placement page or the Portuguese Language placement page.
- Demonstrating proficiency through Northwestern coursework: Language proficiency may also be demonstrated by successfully completing designated coursework. For more details, please see the information on WCAS Language Proficiency Requirement in the online Weinberg College Student Handbook.
