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.
