LS appeals to me because I can literally test out of all the remaining credits needed. Unless TESC accepts the foreign language CLEP's for the foreign language electives, then it's just not a possibility for me (I'd like to graduate as soon as possible so I can enter a masters program). If they do, that'd work wonderfully for me as I could even test out of other languages as I'm a native Khmer speaker. Again, thanks for the valuable info!>>
I don't know how they transcribe the exam results. Some of those exams (like the GRE) put X number of credits in upper and X in lower, etc. It wouldn't hurt to ask! If you search this forum, you'll find lots of great info on the various foreign language exams and how to take them.
With liberal studies, I believe they cap one area at 18 credits, so you'll still have the other areas remaining- while foreign language allows for 33, but again, I don't know if the electives are filled using the exams. In any event, I have great respect for anyone who can speak 3 languages!!! I think you're awesome!
