<p>As I’m looking at graduate schools with programs in Public History and Library Science, I’m noticing that language proficiency tests are often required.</p>
<p>As part of my history major, I’m required to take 4 semesters of a foreign language. I chose German. However, it will be 2 years between when I stop taking German and when I enter graduate school. Knowing how much Spanish I’ve lost already from high school I have a question.</p>
<p>Will graduate schools accept a certificate of language proficiency from say, the Goethe Institute (run by the German government) instead of requiring me to take a test that I might not be able to pass after two years of no German?</p>
