Admission Requirements
Students wishing to declare a major must satisfy the following requirements:
- Complete all Academic Development courses required by the University.
- Complete any required courses to address high school deficiencies.
- Achieve a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in courses completed at SIUE.
All incoming students with one (1) year or more of high school foreign language study are encouraged to take a placement test prior to enrolling in any course in that same language at SIUE. There is no charge for the test, and students may earn up to 16 hours of proficiency credit in accordance with University and departmental policies. These credits can give you a head start on a major or minor in a world language by starting at a more advanced level, assist you in a double major, or help you complete your major or minor early. Please contact the department for more information.
