Language Placement Tool

The Modern Languages Department encourages all first year, transfer, and returning students to complete an online placement assessment before registering for their first Hamline language class.

  • The assessment takes 10-25 minutes on average.
  • Results are available on-line within a few minutes of completing the assessment.
  • The assessment results indicate clearly which appropriate level students should register for, including 1st (1110), 2nd (1120), 3rd (3110) and 4th (3120) semester language level. Scores higher than 4th semester should register for an Advanced Composition, Conversation or Reading course. 

Minor Requirements


Students choosing a minor in Chinese must complete five courses. The course requirements include four Chinese language courses beyond CHIN 1110. The fifth course may be an additional advanced course in Chinese or a course in English about Chinese culture and civilization, with prior approval of the Chinese program director.

One additional course chosen from the following:


  • An additional advanced course in Chinese
  • A course in English about Chinese culture and civilization, with approval
  • A study away course, with approval

 

Note:


Advanced Chinese language courses may be taken at Macalester College or the University of Minnesota.  Students may also apply credits earned in an approved study abroad program in China.
