A proficiency examination in German is also available through the department. Proficiency in Latin or Greek may be demonstrated by a score of 4 or 5 on the AP exam or of 600 or better on the SAT II reading exam. Students wishing to demonstrate proficiency in a language other than those listed above, and those for whom English is not their first language, should consult their class dean. Satisfaction of the requirement through course work requires successful completion of the second semester at the intermediate level or one semester above the intermediate level. "</p>
