Students who are fluent in a foreign language but whose instruction in that language did not take place in a formal classroom setting, may have their skills and fluency in the language evaluated for possible transfer credit by taking either the CLEP exam or the NYU Language Proficiency exam. Official scores earned must be sent to Marymount Manhattan College. Students may earn a maximum of 9 credits from the CLEP language exams, but may earn up to 12 credits from an approved NYU Language Proficiency exam. Students may also earn language credit by taking examinations administered by other pre-approved testing organizations (e.g., the Goethe-Institut). Credit will be awarded in relation to the Common European Framework of References rating as follows: A2=6 language elective credits (first year proficiency); B1=6 language elective credits (second-year proficiency). These credits may not be applied at the 300-Level or above. Questions regarding the acceptance of credits for such examinations taken prior to admission at MMC should be addressed to the Dean of Academic Advisement and Student Retention in the Office of Academic Advisement.
