To ensure students’ English language proficiency, the English Proficiency Graduation Requirement has been established. NCYU legislated the “NCYU Undergraduate English Proficiency Enhancement Policy” and in 1997 the faculty meeting further passed the supplement “NCYU Undergraduate English Proficiency & Graduation Eligibility Policy” along with the “NCYU Graduates English Proficiency Policy” to enhance students’ language performance. Specifically the above policies mandate that in addition to the academic credits counting towards the major, all undergraduates and graduates should demonstrate their English competence by achieving designated English standards prior to graduation.
Students must take one of the accredited and standardized English proficiency tests and attain a score equivalent to the CEF B1 (Threshold) level or above in order to meet the NCYU English Proficiency Graduation Requirement.
