Intensive language training has been offered at the Bloomington campus
of Indiana University since 1950. The Summer Workshop provides up to 230
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, 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.  Knowledge of these languages prepares
students for exciting career opportunities in areas such as government,
education, international development, business, journalism, law,
military, public health, environmental issues, and the arts.
