Welcome

Urdu is one of many world languages taught at De Anza. We provide a wide range of course levels to meet the needs of our students, including introductory and/or elementary sequences for all foreign languages offered, and intermediate and advanced courses for some.

If you have studied a language at another institution but don't know which course to start back with at De Anza, we do not offer foreign language placement tests. However, you may contact an instructor for assistance with placement by going to our language department faculty directories. See our Urdu department faculty list.

Please follow these general rules to decide which course level is best for you.

• One year of high school language is equal to one quarter of De Anza language. For example, if you took Japanese 1 & 2 in high school, you can continue with Japanese 3 at De Anza.
  
  
• Review the Urdu course catalog and current schedule of classes (see links on left menu).
  
  
• See our Intercultural/International Studies Division Frequently Ask Questions page for more information about taking a language class at De Anza.

Shukriya!
