The requirement for 101 and 102 can be met by scoring 6 credits on the CLEP (College Level Examination Program).

The 101 and 102 may be waived by department consent for students who have successfully completed 3-4 years of courses in one language option in high school. However, students entering MSU world language courses at the 200 level, and who intend to pursue graduate studies, are advised to take the CLEP exam to ensure graduate school acceptance of the world language concentration as a two-year progressive sequence of college level language study.
