Language Placement

The language placement questionnaire will help determine the level that best aligns with students' language skills.

• Spanish Placement Questionnaire
• Arabic/Chinese/French/German/Japanese/Latin Placement Questionnaire

Once the form is completed, students should take a screenshot of their results and share it with their advisor for enrollment, and explore our courses. For any questions regarding the results, please contact mlangadvising@ksu.edu.

Note to advisors:

• The placement questionnaire will let the student know which level to enroll in, but you can also use our placement guide to assist your students in selecting the right course(s) based on their language background. We highly recommend students consult with mlangadvising@ksu.edu to ensure they are placed in the appropriate level.
• Retroactive Credit Information: Students placing into a higher level and successfully completing the course with a "C" or better, are eligible for FREE retroactive credit for the preceding course in the language sequence (1 through 4), on a "take one class/ receive credit for one class" basis, thus completing the language course sequence quicker, allowing them to fulfill the K-State Core #6 Arts & Humanities or #7 - Free Electives.
• Students with no previous language experience should enroll in the 101 section of the language.
• Explore all the languages we offer and our degree program options at a glance, and look at our current course descriptions.
