The NYU Foreign Language Proficiency Exam tests three skills – listening, reading and writing – that are necessary for everyday communicative tasks. In most exams, students are required to answer questions about a listening comprehension passage, to translate into English and into the test language, and to write a short essay in response to a selection of general topics.
Marylhurst University is able to administer more than 50 different foreign language exams to Marylhurst degree students. Students may select a 12-point version (up to 18 lower division quarter credits) or a 16-point version (up to 18 lower and 6 upper division quarter credits). For a complete list of test languages and registration information, contact the Learning Assessment Center.
Fees
Fees for NYU Foreign Language tests are $375 for the 18-credit exam and $485 for the 24-credit exam and include both test and administrative costs. Make checks payable to Marylhurst University.
Score Reports
NYU Foreign Language Proficiency Exams are sent to New York University for scoring and a statement of credit equivalency is sent to the student as well as to Marylhurst University. Marylhurst will convert the recommended credit to quarter credits and issue a score report to both the student and to Marylhurst's Office of Admissions.
Test scores are usually mailed to Marylhurst within 8 to 12 weeks of the test date. Credits for exams successfully completed will be recorded as transfer credit on students' Marylhurst transcripts.
Test Sites
Marylhurst is not an open testing site – only admitted, degree-seeking students are eligible to take these exams at Marylhurst.
Marylhurst students outside the Portland metropolitan region may contact the Learning Assessment Center for assistance in finding a local test site.
