Chitwood Hall

Built in 1893, Chitwood is the youngest of the three buildings that make up Woodburn Circle. Originally named Science Hall, it was the center of scientific education and research. The building is now home to the History Department and includes four general purpose classrooms and a student resource room on the ground level that is a gathering place for history student clubs and organizations.

Language Placement Exam

Students who have studied a language before entering college have the opportunity to take the language placement exam. This allows students to place into a higher level language course instead of starting over with a 101 course. Correct placement in a language class can help you graduate earlier, save on tuition payments and boost your resume with second language certification. Placement may also help you get a head start on a World Languages major or minor and expand your study abroad opportunities.
