New York University Proficiency Testing in Foreign Language

The New York University Foreign Language Proficiency Testing program is transitioning to online administrations. Each examination tests four basic areas: comprehension of the spoken language; the written language in composition; translation from English into the language; and translation from the language into English. Up to 16 hours of credit may be earned, depending on the level of performance. Students may request to take the pen/paper version of the test at Thomas Edison State University in Trenton, NJ, if it is not yet offered online. Contact the Office of Testing and Support Services at testing@tesu.edu for more information.

Students may also test at New York University (NYU) or make arrangements to test at other locations by calling 212-998-7030 or by emailing sps.flpe@nyu.edu
