Japanese Language Program Placement
A score of 5 on the Japanese Advanced Placement exam, or a score of 780-800 on the SAT II Subject Test in Japanese, satisfies the Columbia College and the School of General Studies foreign language requirement. Students without AP or SAT II scores, as well as those who wish to continue their study of Japanese at Columbia, must take the department’s placement exam during Orientation.
Information regarding the Japanese Placement Test for Fall 2023 will be posted here in June 2023.
Please contact Naoko Sourial (nns2111@columbia.edu) for any questions.
