Eligibility

This is the ideal time to apply to Interdisciplinary Global Programs. Apply as soon as you know you are interested in order to get set up right away with the proper coursework during Undergraduate Orientation. For freshmen entering our program in the summer before they start at NAU, students don’t need to worry being on track with their language. All students can join and study any language of their choosing, as long as they start language coursework right away, alongside their first degree classes.

Math placement

Math placement is a bit trickier. The only way students can graduate within five years with our programs is if they start their freshman year in the correct math course. Learn which math placement you need for first semester freshman year in your chosen degree. Students who are more than one class behind will be ineligible to apply.

For more information about Math Placement, check out Gateway.

Language placement

If you already have significant language experience, and think an introductory language course won’t be the right fit for you, learn more about exam credit, retrocredit, proficiency exams and placement exams with Global Languages and Cultures.
