Graduate students and advanced undergraduates are eligible for full and

Recent program participants have studied:

Academic programs are tailored to the individual student's language level,
and provide approximately 20 hours per week of in-class
instruction in the target language.  Courses in history, literature, and
politics are also available for advanced speakers.
