现代语言要求
在亚游集团官方网站, we believe that learning a language provides important and useful connections to our global society. In our intentionally urban and purposefully multicultural community it is not unusual to hear multiple languages being spoken as you walk down the street or even sit in the campus 餐厅. Our modern language requirement reflects the desire to prepare students for lives in a global society.
公园的北部 核心课程 requires undergraduate students to be proficient through the 1020 course level in a language other than English. 传统上, this is accomplished by taking two semesters of one modern language like Spanish, 法国, 阿拉伯语, 中国人, 甚至是瑞典语. North Park offers a variety of language classes that can be taken to fulfill this requirement as a student.
If you already speak a language other than English you may fulfill—or be exempt from—the modern language requirement based on this experience and your native (or primary) language. Use the rules below to help you determine how you can prove proficiency.
规则一:母语为英语
If English is the primary language spoken in your home country and your primary language of instruction in high school or beyond, you have two basic options to fulfill the modern language requirement:
- Take coursework at North Park to complete proficiency to the 1020 level of another language.
- If you already know a language other than English, you may take a 安排考试 证明自己精通那门语言.
- 如果北公园提供这种语言, the exam will be free of charge and offered prior to the beginning of each semester.
- If the language you know is not offered at North Park you can arrange to be tested by a qualified person at another four-year university. 你不能上社区大学, 社区中心, 教堂, 或相对于管理能力考试, and you are responsible for any fees related to taking the test or having the results posted to North Park.

国家双语印章
Students who have received the 国家双语印章 meet the modern language requirement (the 1010-1020 level of a second language) and will be exempt from the 现代语言分级考试. Students wishing to continue their studies in the second language may still choose to take the 现代语言分级考试 to see if they can place into an intermediate- or advanced-level class. Please note that no academic credit is awarded for meeting this curricular requirement by placement testing or the 国家双语印章.
