Writing Proficiency (ENG101)<br />
<strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>University</strong> requires that students demonstrate proficiency in written English on both basic and upper<br />
levels. Students with an ACT (English section) score of 26 or higher, or an SAT (Verbal section) score of 620<br />
or higher, are eligible to take the Writing Proficiency Exam during preregistration.<br />
Students who are not eligible to take the Writing Proficiency Exam, or who do not pass the exam, will register<br />
for ENG101-English Composition. This writing proficiency may also be satisfied by passing an appropriate<br />
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) test or by credits awarded through the Advanced Placement (AP)<br />
Program.<br />
Oral Communication Proficiency (COM201)<br />
<strong>Concordia</strong> <strong>University</strong> requires that students in traditional degree programs demonstrate basic proficiency in<br />
speech communication. The proficiency may be demonstrated in either of two ways: (1) by successfully<br />
completing COM201 Speech Communication (3 credits), or (2) by passing the Oral Communication<br />
Proficiency Exam. The proficiency exam may be taken by students who score 26 or higher on the English<br />

better in at least two semesters of high school speech communication courses.<br />

The student must receive a grade of C- or better in a college level mathematics course (2 or more credit hours)<br />
