Indiana University’s summer 2024 Language Workshop

Indiana University’s summer Language Workshop is accepting applications and Winter Break is the perfect time to apply!

Funding is available for Russian immersion programs at Indiana, for online programs in Azerbaijani, BCS, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Kyrgyz, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukrainian and Uzbek, and for overseas Hungarian programs in Budapest.

New this year: Indiana University and the University of Pittsburgh have coordinated their summer programs so that students of BCS, Czech, Hungarian or Polish can study domestically with one university then study abroad with the other. Indiana and Pittsburgh’s domestic programs cover the same material, but students in Pittsburgh’s program cover the material in 6 weeks in person, at 30 hours of class per week, while students in Indiana’s program cover the material in 8 weeks online, at 20 hours of class per week.
