If you have previously taken Portuguese and have questions about which course is appropriate for you, we recommend you take a placement test to help determine your level of proficiency. Please contact Dr. Cynthia Sloan at sloanc@pdx.edu to set up a day and time to take a placement test. Please include the following information in your email:
• PSU ID number
• Where and when you studied the language and for how long
• How long it has been since you last studied the language
Please note: This placement test does not waive the Second Language Requirements. Students who need to take a proficiency exam to fulfill the second language requirement for the admission, Bachelor of Arts (BA), or Master of Arts (MA), see the Second Language Requirements page for information and instructions.
