Oral Proficiency Interviews

Graduating seniors majoring in Spanish are required to take the OPIc [Oral Proficiency Interview - computer] language proficiency evaluation in order to determine their achieved level of language proficiency. Seniors will receive an email inviting them to sign up.  To schedule your OPIc, please contact Dr. Shawn Morrison, Associate Dean of the School of Languages Cultures and World Affairs, at MorrisonSH@cofc.edu.

Global Scholars also take the OPIc to evaluate their language proficiency. For more information, please see the Foreign Language Proficiency requirements here. Questions regarding Global Scholars should be directed to Dr. Joseph Weyers at weyersj@cofc.edu.

Allow about 60 minutes to take the test. 


If you are a native or heritage speaker of a language other than English and wish to be exempted from the language requirement at College of Charleston, or you wish to place at a higher level, please contact the program offering that language for placement procedures. For Spanish or Portuguese, please send an email to hisp@cofc.edu.

If you fluently speak a language that the College does not teach and wish to be exmpted from the foreign laguage requirement, please contact Dr. Shawn Morrison, Associate Dean of the School of Languages Cultures and World Affairs, at morrisonsh@cofc.edu.
