Incoming Freshmen, Dual-Enrolled, or Transfer students are strongly encouraged to complete the following survey about their language background. The information gathered helps the College determine whether students are likely to need language coursework, and, if so, at what level.
Freshman/Transfer Language Survey
Grove City College offers French, Spanish, Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew. Students in B.A. programs in the Calderwood School complete the beginning and intermediate levels of a language (e.g. 101 and 102, 201 and 202). Students in B.S. programs in the Calderwood School and Winklevoss School of Business complete the elementary level of language (e.g. 101 and 102). Language waivers for some or all of the required coursework are solely available based on proven proficiency. See the link below for details pertaining to students entering in Fall 2026 or thereafter. (Note: for students who entered GCC in spring 2026 or earlier, they are subject to the language requirement posted in the College Bulletin in their degree requirement year. They should consult their advisor or the registrar with any questions.) See the link below for details.
Language Requirement
Students who have had prior exposure to a language but have not taken an AP exam or received college credit in the language must take the Foreign Language Placement Exam before registering for their first modern languages course at Grove City College.
Students are expected to adhere to Grove City College’s Academic Integrity Policy. All work should be the student’s own, and the use of notes, dictionaries, translation tools, textbooks, and all other forms of assistance during the placement exam are prohibited.
