International students and scholars may meet the language requirement upon successful completion of EG 102: Comp II. All other students whose native language is not taught on the Emporia State campus may meet this requirement by demonstrating proficiency in this language through a Department of Modern Languages-approved assessment instrument at the students’ expense, or by demonstrating proficiency at the 111 level of a language taught at Emporia State.”
