UT-Austin Students
Current UT students who would like to receive credit by exam for Bangla should purchase the DAE (Departmentally Administered Exam) form from Student Testing Services and then contact Dr. Donald Davis in the Department of Asian Studies to schedule an exam. Students will receive credit and be placed into the appropriate level of Malayalam based on the results of the DAE.
Texas High School Students
Credit-by-Exam (CBE) tests are currently being prepared for administration through UT High School. Once available (expected Spring 2024), high school students in Texas will be able to arrange a proctored exam on-site at UT-Austin or at an approved testing site in their local district. The exams will cover all levels of the current foreign language requirement in Texas (1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b).
Other University and High School Students
Professional evaluations and testing for academic credits or requirements at other universities and high schools are possible, but must be arranged directly with Dr. Donald Davis in the Department of Asian Studies. To obtain formal, transcriptable university credits, we warmly recommend our courses.
