  6. Proficiency based language requirement University of Kentucky

  7. USP language requirement(1985-2010) “meet Kentucky's pre-college curriculum requirement” (see http://www.uky.edu/Admission/apply.htm) which means, according to the Kentucky Department of Education website: “2 credits required or demonstrated competency” (see http://education.ky.gov/KDE/Instructional+Resources/High+School/ Additional+Information/The+PreCollege+Curriculum.htm) that is, 2 years of high school study (or equivalent demonstrated competency), or 2 semesters at UK

  8. UK Core – Revised Gen Ed curriculum • A revised general education curriculum will be designed to smooth students' transition from high school to a research university, and to establish the foundations for advanced college-level learning. • The general education curriculum will lay the foundation for effective citizenship in our pluralistic society that is increasingly interconnected with a multilingual, global community.

  9. UK Core Entrance Requirement “competency equivalent of two years of high school foreign language” All entering students, including transfer students, must demonstrate a novice-mid proficiency level in a foreign language through an outside assessment rather than through high school seat-time.

  10. Ways to satisfy entrance requirement • STAMP score of 2 or higher (“novice mid”) • AP exam (score of 2 or higher) • SAT Subject Test (score of 2 or higher) • Students who begin study of a new language at UK do not need to demonstrate entrance proficiency.

  11. Ways to satisfy entrance requirement • For languages for which the STAMP is not available (for example, Latin), UK will administer its own assessment exam. • For non-native speakers of English, a TOEFL exam score of 71 or higher will constitute proof of proficiency.
