  • If you have completed “dual enrollment” courses during high school, AP/I.B./CLEP exams, or college courses, we will help you find the appropriate Butler course(s) and potentially earn Butler placement credits (BLPC). Placement credits allow you to combine other majors and/or minors with your Modern Languages degree or take general electives you’re eager to experience. BLPC are awarded based upon your Butler placement exam result or the course level in which you begin via permission of the Modern Languages department chair.
  • For BLPC, you can request these 200-level elective credits after completing, each with a “C-” or better, two 300-level Butler courses in the same language. How it works:
    • Begin in 203: you’ll be eligible for three 200-level elective BLPC
    • Begin in 204: you’ll be eligible for  six 200-level elective BLPC
    • Begin in 300-level Skills: you’ll be eligible for  nine 200-level elective BLPC
