The study of other languages is a degree requirement at Agnes Scott. If you have one or more years of study in French, German, Spanish, Latin or ancient Greek in high school and you wish to continue study of that same language at Agnes Scott, you are required to take a placement test. Transfer students with college course work in a language do not need to take the placement test.
The Spanish, Latin, German and French placement tests are online on a secure course management system. Instructions on how to access these online tests are mailed to you. The results of these tests will be available in time for your meeting with your adviser preceding registration.
Ancient Greek, Chinese and Japanese do not currently have placement tests, students can speak directly with the instructor about placement during Orientation.
Even if you choose to study a different language at Agnes Scott, we encourage you to take the placement test for the language you studied in high school in case you change your mind. Also, be aware that if you have one or more years of high school study, you may not elect to “start over” by registering for the introductory level of that same foreign language.
We recommend that you begin your foreign language study during your first semester at Agnes Scott. This is because students starting a new language will need four semesters to complete the requirement and students continuing foreign language study from high school should not have a time gap before continuing their study at ASC.
If you plan to take Math 118, Calculus I, you should visit the mathematics department Web site to take the Calculus Readiness Survey. This is not a placement test—it is used for advising purposes only. Information from the test will be made available to your adviser so that you may make an informed decision about which math course best serves your needs. The math homepage also has full descriptions about the range of introductory math courses.
The Music Theory placement test is required of all students considering a music major or minor and helps determine their eligibility to place directly into MUS 110 (Music Theory II). MUS 110 has a prerequisite of either MUS 109 (Music Theory I) or a passing score on the placement test. The placement test is administered on campus during orientation. The test will cover such materials as pitch (bass and treble clefs as well as octave registers), key signatures (major and minor keys), scales (major and all three forms of minor), time signatures, chords (triads and seventh chords in root position and inversions), Roman numeral analysis and aural skills (sight-singing using movable-do solfege, melodic dictation, rhythmic dictation and chord quality identification ). Learn more on the music department site.
Students interested in enrolling in any dance technique courses at level II or above should attend a dance technique placement class during Orientation. More information will be included in the Orientation Schedule. You may also contact Professor Bridget Roosa for additional information.
