Placement testing

To study math or Spanish at UW Tacoma, you must take a placement test first. Placement tests are not "pass/fail" tests; they simply assess your skill level so you can be enrolled in the appropriate course.

Spanish placement test

Spanish courses can be important for students who want to major or minor in international business or Hispanic studies as well as students who need to fulfill their foreign language requirement. If you took Spanish in high school and have not yet taken a college-level Spanish course, you will need to take the Spanish Placement Test before taking a Spanish class at UW Tacoma.

Math placement test

Math courses are important for students who are planning math-intensive majors including programs in the natural sciences, engineering, computer science and business administration.
