Summer Quarter Intensive Slavic Language Program (fwd)

[James Augerot]

Although many know of our intensive summer program in Russian and Czech,
we are proud to be able to add Ukrainian on what we hope to be a regular
basis both in the intensive summer variant and as a regular part of our
academic year program. All courses meet 3-4 hours a day and confer 15
Quarter/hour credits.
