The following languages are offered: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Swahili, Turkish, and Urdu.
Dr. Kay Agoston is the campus advisor for graduate students. Dr. LaNitra Berger is the campus advisor for undergraduates.
If you are interested in the program, please review the website and the eligibility requirements CAREFULLY online. Almost all of the information you need to begin an application is located on the website. Please note that the deadline is in mid-November, so you should review the information quickly and decide if you are going to apply.
Please plan to attend Monday’s information session for an opportunity to meet and ask questions of a CLS Program Representative.
