receive credit for the course plus six credit equivalency for
intermediate level 200/201.
Language achievement tests include the AP tests available at
the high school level and CLEP tests at the university level.
Credit may be awarded on the basis of achievement.
Foreign Language and the International Student

completed high school study in the first language, may apply
English courses toward the language requirement at Marian
University. These are ENG 101, COM 101, HUM 230/231.
