Like SophanPhin82, I speak enough French, Spanish and German to get at least 30 credits, maybe 36 by CLEP'ing them. But a TESC academic advisor explained to me that for a Foreign Language degree, all 33 required credits in the "area of study" must be in one language, you can't mix and match. So, assuming you get 12 credits for the CLEP, you must take 21 additional credits of French 18th century literature, French film, etc. OR Cervantes, and Mexican playwrights, OR Schiller + 19th century German novelists...you get the idea.
I am therefore going the Liberal Studies route, which will allow me to get all those lovely credits fast and cheap, without being forced to take a bunch of courses I don't want to take.
