Admitted students without prior Chinese coursework at Harvard must complete an online Placement Exam before the program begins. This ensures enrollment in the most suitable course. You will be contacted directly by a faculty via email if you need to take this exam.
The exam includes three sections:
1) Multiple Choice
2) Writing (typed)
3) Oral Interview
No preparation is necessary.
The 2025 HTA Placement Exam is scheduled for mid to late May 2025.
