Foreign Language Proficiency Exam

[cookderosa]

Hello,

Can you please tell me if TESC accepts

1) NYU Foreign Language Proficiency Exam . Proficiency Testing - Foreign Languages | New York University - SCPS

2) American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Exams. They are also ACE Credited. Do they accept them RAW or do i need to send Transcripts from ACE. ACTFL Certified Proficiency Testing Programs (oral and written) - American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages

If yes how do they award the credit's and in what category do they fall .. I mean Humanities , social science or general education requirement's. I am looking forward for BSBA in Computer Information Systems . Thomas Edison State College | BSBA in Computer Information Systems Credit Distribution .

Also I would be testing myself in 2 languages. Hindi and Punjabi. would they count them as 2 subject area's or just 1.

Regards,

Reshab

Reshab,
I'm impressed

In any event, I can only answer part of your questions. The credits will be considered humanities, and anything ACE evaluated will count for sure.

All foreign language is one subject, so you'll still need a second subject; but, you are required to take a 3 credit communications, so that will be fine. The excess foreign language credit can overflow into your general education electives (9 cr) so in theory, you can probably use up to 18 foreign language credits if my math is correct. Additionally, if you cap out, they can overflow into your free electives...so any way you slice it, I think your in a win-win situation and you can probably earn up to 27 before you're full.

As to "how" you get the credits (raw or transcripted by ACE) is a question for advising.

Foreign language is an excellent way to earn credit, even the CLEP exam can award up to 12 credits per language. I wish I had the ability!
