Summer Workshop in Slavic, East European
and Central Asian Languages
at Indiana University

June 19-August 14, 2009

Intensive language training has been offered at the Bloomington campus of Indiana University since 1950. The Summer Workshop provides up to 200 participants in Slavic, East European and Central Asian languages the opportunity to complete a full year of college language instruction during an eight-week summer session.

Utilizing the resources of Indiana University's own specialists as well as native speakers from other universities and abroad, the Summer Workshop has developed and maintained a national program of the highest quality. Allowing all participants to pay in-state tuition fees, the program has as its goal the enhancement of speaking, reading, listening and writing skills through classroom instruction and a full range of extra-curricular activities. Fellowships and funding are available.

Application Deadline: March 20, 2009; thereafter, rolling admissions. Deadline for consideration for Fellowships is also March 20, 2009.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Spaces is still available in the first-year Macedonian, Slovene, and Ukrainian classes.

Thanks to funding by the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), tuition for Macedonian and Slovene will be waived for graduate students specializing in East European studies in any discipline. FLAS fellowships for all three languages are still available on a competitive basis.

Knowledge of Slavic, East European, and Central Asian languages prepares students for exciting career opportunities in areas such as government, higher education, not-for-profit institutions, public health, law, international development, the military, journalism, environmental issues, the arts and business.

For summer 2009, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) will fund the teaching of first year Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Macedonian, and Romanian. Tuition for these courses will be waived for graduate students specializing in East European studies in any discipline.
