<p>Does anyone know how we can take lets say french as a side class not a major. i want to learn french really bad!</p>
<p>and would i have to take the placement test during orientation?</p>
<p>All the languages are available as classes, not just majors. Lots of people take classes in languages without majoring in it. Placement comes either in the form of AP exams or first-days placement tests.</p>
<p>thank you for answering :)</p>
<p>one question, what if were total beginners, do we still take the placement test?..</p>
<p>Nope, all the 100 level classes are meant to be purely introductory, but they are very intensive and move quickly.</p>
<p>Also, all introductory language classes meet every day, so factor that into schedules</p>
