How?

If you have taken a language in high school, or learned one at home, explore our Pathways into
Modern Languages Programs to earn a Language Minor in under one year or a Language Major
in two to three years. Through Avant Language Assessment or the Global Seal of Biliteracy you
can receive up to 14 college credit hours when you take a course at UTA at the next level in the
language you tested.*

Please see sample pathway into Chinese minor, but minors for other languages work similarly.
