Foreign Language Proficiency Exam

[ali4nia]

Not that any of this has any bearing on the question asked originally....

but...

I would say knowing a language such as Hindi, Arabic, Cantonese etc could serve someone very well. You should leverage that skill as much as you can. I don't think it matters if that language skill is documented in a college degree, or in some other manner.

As to whether or not you should use those tests/credits instead of more general credits. I don't think that having Pottery 101 or Sociology 100 on a transcript will get you your dream job or help you compete any more successfully. The only exception could be if you needed Pottery 101 to get into an upper level course, like Theories of Pottery Management 300.

Want to use that language skill for credit? Go for it. Want to take a more general exam? Go for it. No difference in utility.

bottom line is, you wanna fill up your general edu req with 30 or more credits in some languages that you learned when you were kid,Cool its your choice go for it, I wont do that, I just put them on my resume and try to diversify my range of knowledge as much as possible I can name for you 10000 jobs where Hindi and Punjabi is completely useless but knowing the history U.S /world or basic psy 101 or soc 101(even if its clep!!) can help a lot, after all we are in U.S not in China or India.. WOW I cant believe I have to explain you those things.. Its so hard for some of you to understand some basic concepts hilarious maybe you should get some real education instead of constantly thinking of filling up degrees with random credits ! hilarious
